CHAMPAIGN-URBANA--Several local governments take action, to save the Mahomet Aquifer from being polluted.
They've filed a complaint with the Illinois Pollution Control Board, claiming the Clinton Landfill never received county approval for a chemical-waste unit.
The Clinton Landfill is located directly over the Mahomet Aquifer.
A large groundwater source, that provides water for more than 88 communities, and close to 1 Million people in Central Illinois.
The goal of the complaint, to force the Clinton Landfill Incorporated to follow state law, and submit the chemical waste unit to the public scrutiny, and analysis it deserves before Dewitt County Board.
The local governments involved are, the Cities of Champaign, Urbana, Bloomington, and Decatur.
As well as the town of Normal, the Village of Savoy, Champaign and Piatt Counties, and the Mahomet Valley Water Authority.
