In an article from the Indiana Capital Chronicle, Indianapolis-based utility company Citizens Energy Group asked state regulators earlier this month to withdraw its proposal to supply million gallons of water per day from the West Lafayette region to a massive high-tech park planned in Boone County via a controversial pipeline project that is still in the works. Citizens spokeswoman Laura O’Brien told the Indianapolis Business Journal that ongoing discussions with the IEDC have resulted in “material modifications” to their initial filing with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC), prompting the company to withdraw a petition that was “no longer reflective of the present situation.” O’Brien also said the company “remains hopeful” that it can continue to work with the IEDC and City of Lebanon to build water utility infrastructure for the LEAP District, according to the IBJ.
