  1. Indianapolis needs much more water in the next 20 years as demand increases. The area north of the zoo is built to hold 10′ to 20′ more water. It was built to prevent floods like around 1910. If a taller dam were built near Washington Street and managed to lower the level automatically when heavy rains are expected; we would have more water for the dry times. It may also refill the hundreds of wells we rely upon from The Zoo to The Taggert Park area. This area is currently a wasteland inhabited by a hundred or so homeless individuals living below the bridges, it would leave far less room for the indigent to take up residence in our downtown. They do not have sanitary or trash facilities, nor do they want them. Someone else will come along to clean it up at taxpayers expense. This would still leave plenty of room for recreation. Future water needs are becoming extremely important and nothing has been done to increase the reservoir supply in 30 or 40 years. It is Indianapolis’s advantage. Another idea, which I learned from Dr Beurt SerVaas, would be to install a pipe from Moorse Reservoir to Indianapolis. Bloomington did not build that, it really isn’t theirs. If anyone else has an idea of where to build our next reservoir, please let me know. Steven Pettinga

  2. Citizens Water (a public trust) maintains a robust water supply planning capability. And it recently activated a huge new reservoir, a former quarry, adjacent to Geist reservoir. Regional entities, and the State, are also closely studying water needs, groundwater sources, usage, and availability. The Beurt SerVaas Monroe Reservoir pipedream remains highly impractical. Also, his principal interest was in returning ownership to private, profiteering hands. Hats off to former mayor Ballard for terminating the highly anti-public Veolia management contract and entrusting the public water supply utility to the Citizens Energy Group.
