Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8iFe6TFkuE Champaign County is one of 14 counties that source their drinking water from the Mahomet Aquifer. Because there are no economically feasible alternatives to replace it, in 2015 the EPA designated the Mahomet Aquifer a sole source aquifer. A recent concern of elected leaders and environmental groups is the ability of industrial companies to inject carbon dioxide through the Aquifer to store it underground.
Panelists Andrew Rehn, Climate Policy Director at Prairie Rivers Network, and Pam Richart, Co-Director of the Eco-Justice Collaborative work locally to advance clean and sustainable energy policies. Rehn and Richart will share their expertise on the Mahomet Aquifer and the urgent need to protect it.  This program is part of LWVCC's Keeping it Local series. These programs are free, open to the public, and available on the League’s website (after the meeting).
 Candidate information is being updated often so check back frequently.
