Our newsgathering partners at the Lebanon Reporter are now reporting the city could have a solution in the next eight weeks.

LEBANON, Ind. — The city of Lebanon says it's close to finding a new source for water after running out for any future homes or businesses.You may remember there's plenty of water for people who already live and work there, but Lebanon stopped new construction projects back in May because there wasn't enough to promise to anyone else. That's a problem for any city, but especially a fast-growing community in a fast-growing county.

And it also impacts the massive LEAP district the state spent more than $100 million to buy and develop. Gentry said local leaders were alerted to the need for additional water about 20 years ago. He said leaders more recently saw the LEAP district as a way to partner with the state to pay for a solution rather than invest alone and leave ratepayers with significantly higher water bills. He also added other communities should be watching how the situation plays out in his community.

Gentry added it's an amount of water that could supply industrial and residential growth, including the LEAP research and innovation district.
