pipeline

Regional policymakers have been raising concerns for months about the state’s proposal to pipe water from the county down to an industrial project in Lebanon.

A new report comes amid growing skepticism of water pipeline plan.

West Lafayette lawmakers said they are optimistic about the possibility of passing water legislation during the state’s upcoming legislative session.

Officials hope to pipe 100 million gallons of water daily 35 miles from the aquifer to a massive — and controversial — high-tech park planned in Boone County: the LEAP Lebanon Innovation District.

The Indiana Department of Natural Resources, the Sierra Club, and Citizens Action Coalition have concerns about a proposed natural gas pipeline that would run underneath the Ohio River.
