SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WNDU) — The Indiana Finance Authority has approved more than $14.5 million in low-interest loans for South Bend to fund a series of drinking water infrastructure projects.

According to our reporting partners at the South Bend Tribune, the funding will support rehabilitation of the Edison Water Filtration Plant, replacement of lead service lines in part of the city’s water system, and design work for a project to address PFAS — known as “forever chemicals” — at the North Water Treatment Plant.

State officials said the financing will save utilities millions of dollars while helping local communities upgrade aging water systems and better protect public health.
