It’s Our Water… Protecting Central Indiana’s Water

Have you ever wondered where the water in your tap comes from and the future of our supply in Central Indiana? Do you ever think about how many times and ways you and others in your community use water in a day? How about who controls the water and how our quality compares to state standards?  

Jill Hoffmann, the Executive Director of the White River Alliance, will be sharing some fun facts (and not so fun facts) about regional water resources in our area. She will discuss the condition, the threats, and the inspiring ways partner organizations and citizens are working to protect water quality. There’s a role for everyone – join us for this important discussion of one of our most valuable assets to businesses, recreation, and public health.
