After nearly a year of work and dedication to bettering the Mahomet Aquifer, the group tasked to find better ways to protect the central Illinois water source is hopeful their work will turn into results.

State Senator Chapin Rose led the group and says while they have big recommendations for Illinos lawmakers, they also have things that could be done to keep the momentum going. One of those is to create a government body that would see through the execution of this plan.

To prevent the report from going to waste, Sen. Rose points out he is going to use a lot of the recommendations in bills he will propose in the spring legislative session. He also points out a lot of the recommendations can be taken on at a local level.

Sen. Rose feels this will be an issue that continues to be of interest to residents of central Illinois. 

Sen. Rose feels the way everyone worked together and brought their various viewpoints to the table helped them bring together a well-rounded report.
