INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Citizens Energy Group announced the start of construction on the White River North Water Treatment Plant in Indianapolis, with multiple public information sessions planned.

The Citizens-Lebanon Water Supply Program (CLWSP) is a multi-year initiative designed to enhance water delivery to Lebanon Utilities and improve service across Marion County.

CEG says it will also ensure a reliable water supply even during extreme weather conditions.

According to a release by CEG, The Citizens-Lebanon Water Supply Program will allow for the delivery of up to 25 million gallons of water per day to Lebanon Utilities, strengthening the water system that serves Marion County and eight other communities in Central Indiana.

CEG says construction will not cause interruptions to water service for existing customers and will also involve standard construction activities such as concrete pours and truck traffic during the day.

New public information sessions for the CLWSP will take place at the Indianapolis Public Library’s Pike Branch on Jan. 20, Feb. 3, Feb. 17, March 3 and April 7 to keep citizens informed about the construction.

Some local residents are protesting the build. Just last week, more than two dozen concerned citizens brought attention to the utility’s plan to send water from Eagle Creek Reservoir to the developing LEAP District in Lebanon.

CEFG says the estimated cost for this overall project is $560 million and will be financed without passing costs onto customers, as it is supported by the Indiana Finance Authority funding.

INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Colts are heading home. The team announced Friday that starting in 2027, Training Camp will move from Westfield’s Grand Park to the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center in Indianapolis.

The team has been at Grand Park in Westfield since 2018. By making the switch, the Colts join more than 25 other NFL teams that now prefer to hold camp at their own year-round practice facilities. The team says the move is driven by “growing logistical and technological demands” that are better met at their home base.

“This was a tough decision, because we’ve had a wonderful experience at Grand Park and have valued working so closely with the city of Westfield and Hamilton County over seven summers,” the team said. “We’re grateful to Mayors Scott Willis and Andy Cook and their staffs, Hamilton County’s business, tourism, public safety, and community leaders, and of course the people of Westfield and the hundreds of volunteers who shared their time and energy to make sure camp was safe, smooth, and enjoyable for all.”

Fans of the Grand Park experience don’t have to say goodbye just yet. The Colts confirmed they will return to Westfield for the 2026 training camp before making the permanent move to Indianapolis the following year.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Two people were injured, one critically, in a shooting on the east side of Indianapolis, police said Friday morning.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers responded around 1:20 a.m. to a home on North Colorado Avenue at 33rd Street. That’s a few doors down from where a man was accidentally shot during a card game on Thursday.

IMPD says both victims were “awake and breathing” when taken to a hospital.

Police have not said what led to the shooting and no arrests have been made.
