Show Notes
Residents near Eagle Creek Park in Indianapolis are challenging a water deal that could pipe up to twenty-five million gallons a day from the reservoir to the LEAP industrial district in Lebanon by 2031. The plan involves treating the water for big projects like a Lilly medicine plant and a Meta data center campus, then discharging it back into the reservoir. A bipartisan group of city-county councilors has called for more transparency and protection of the parks water, expressing concerns about potential pollutants from more factories lowering water quality, hurting wildlife, and even dropping nearby property values. City officials are reviewing the fifty-year water withdrawal agreement with Citizens Energy Group and pushing for alternative discharge sites away from sensitive park areas. As more data centers eye spots around the watershed, this push aims to lock in smarter rules now, ensuring the reservoir stays a reliable resource for everyone down the line.
