The offensive taste and smell of Muncie's drinking water has been a hot topic for several weeks. While they don't threaten our health, the potential changes to two rules regarding PFAS contaminants known as “forever chemicals" announced by the EPA in May and recently summarized in the Indy Star and Muncie StarPress may be hazardous. Here's why.
PFAS exposure can lead to cancer, cardiovascular issues, liver damage and developmental issues during pregnancy, among other adverse health effects, according to the EPA.
One proposal announced by the EPA would roll back a rule that sets an allowable level of four different PFAS compounds in drinking water.
The other proposed rule would give water utilities an additional two years to meet certain drinking water standards.
Gov. Mike Braun signed an executive order in 2025 requiring that Indiana's environmental regulations be no more stringent than the federal government’s. That means that if the federal government rolls back its rule, Indiana must follow suit.
Indiana residents' primary exposure to PFAS comes from drinking water, according to a 2025 Purdue University study. The study found more than 20 counties across Indiana tested above the maximum standards set by the EPA. These rollbacks could make it more difficult to know if our drinking water is PFAS-free.
EPA officials say they need to delay compliance because public water systems face too many challenges to meet the original deadline. Challenges include finding certified operators, securing funding and making the capital improvements needed for PFAS filtration.
The EPA will hold public hearings for each proposed rule change on July 7, 2026.
If you are concerned about the implications of the EPA's proposed regulatory rollbacks on Indiana's drinking water, I encourage you to read the full Indy Star report and participate in the EPA's virtual public hearing or submit a written comment.

The U.S. is proposing to roll back PFAS drinking water standards, but one Indiana utility is ahead of the curve.

This opportunity for state recognition is for businesses that have been in continuous operation for 50 or 100 years. If you or someone you know qualifies, please consider applying by May 30. If the deadline is too short, I was told it can be extended by a week or two.

Indiana is now accepting applications for the 2026 Governor's Century & Half Century Awards, which honor businesses that have remained in operation for at least 100 or 50 years respectively, and have demonstrated a commitment to serving their community. Hoosier businesses that meet the award criteria and have had continuous operations in Indiana for 100 or 50 years by Dec. 31, 2025, will be recognized at a ceremony by Governor Mike Braun at the Indiana Statehouse later this year.

Learn more about eligibility criteria and apply online https://iedc.in.gov/events/news/details/2026/04/21/governor-braun-invites-hoosier-businesses-to-apply-for-century-half-century-business-awards
Applications are due by May 30, 2026.

Great news! My race for the Indiana House was given a Target Race designation today by the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee - DLCC, the only organization responsible for the national strategy to elect Democrats to legislatures across all 50 states.

That means they believe in our campaign and know that winning in this district is critical to Democrats building power and picking up seats in the chamber.

As chaos unfolds in Washington, working families need the support of their state legislators more than ever. Public education, economic opportunity, workers’ rights, and access to the ballot are on the line. With your help and support, I’ll fight for our values in the Indiana House.

Today I got an email and a text from Indiana American Water letting me know that they are flushing Muncie's water distribution system starting today and continuing through July 7. In case you didn't get the notice, here it is: https://awgis.amwater.com/CustomerAdvisoryMap/
Read the full advisory notice and you'll see IAW is preparing us for possible reduced water pressure and/or discoloration when the crew is working in an area.

My water still tastes and smells ok. I've talked to friends who say it's as bad as ever and others who say it's improved. How about yours?
