The latest in this situation
How it started
What happened
A $48 million pump project, which includes a water booster station and two 1.5-million-gallon tanks, has been proposed near Hendricks County. This infrastructure is intended to bring water to the LEAP development district in Boone County. Local residents are organizing to push back against the construction of the pumping station.

Why it matters
The project is part of the necessary infrastructure to support the LEAP development district. The Hendricks County Area Plan Commission is expected to review the site plan on October 13. The Supreme Court has previously ruled that utilities have the right to locate where they can serve best, even if municipalities have limited power to interfere with utility construction.
