The Central Canal is a critical backbone to Indianapolis neighborhoods from Broad Ripple to 30th Street and to the long-term viability of our downtown. The future of the Central Canal under the control of Citizens is an important question, and it is concerning that the shift in ownership is not widely known and has not been communicated to neighborhood groups.

It is not overstating the case to say that proposed the sale of Indianapolis’ water and wastewater utilities to Citizens Energy Group is one of the most important deals ever proposed in Indianapolis. The Memorandum of Understanding between the Mayor’s Office and Citizens Energy Group leaves many open questions. These questions can only be answered through a process that respects the idea that we all deserve to have a seat at the table as well as a voice in the discussion.
