Expert Says Water Plan Is Flawed

After last week’s news that test drilling for the aquifer are underway…more on the pushback against it. Jeremy Rentz, an environmental engineering professor at Trine University, told the roughly 100 or so people at a meeting in Pioneer withdrawing 10 million gallons of water per day from the Michindoh Aquifer from area sites would have a “significant” impact on Williams County. He pointed out it is 25 percent of the amount of groundwater currently being withdrawn from the aquifer in Williams, Fulton, Hillsdale and Lenawee counties. He called those facts…concerning.
