Freitag Testifies at the Statehouse to Wastewater Task Force

Last year, Governor Holcomb created the state’s first Wastewater Task Force to address issues of Indiana’s water management and water quality. Co-chairs Senator Eric Koch and Representative Ed Soliday currently lead this important review of Indiana’s water infrastructure and causes of water quality impairment, including issues that are CLC’s priorities like drainage reform and failing septics. 

Last week, Christian Freitag testified at the new Task Force, stressing the need for data-driven decisionmaking on this critical resource for the state’s environmental health and economic vitality. The state has worked hard to advance its water management in recent years, and we have opportunities to build on those successes using recommendations outlined in CLC’s “Water Report,” available at: conservationlawcenter.org/water.
