Tammy Webber, for the Indianapolis Star, has an article entitled Bill, EPA may help with sewage woes.
She reports that the Senate will consider Senate Bill 620,
which would let communities change water-quality standards during storms — meaning waterways would not have to be clean enough for human contact for up to four days. That would protect the state from lawsuits while lawmakers work to solve the problem. The goal, apparently, is to give communities some leeway as they work on improving their water treatment facilities so they handle overflows better even if they can’t treat every drop of water in an overflow.
