Terre Haute Clean Water
Terre Haute, like many other Midwestern cities, has a problem with polluted waterways. Combined sewage overflows, failing septic systems, and urban stormwater runoff all contribute to sewage or untreated water flowing into the Wabash River, which can cause health problems and degrade the river water quality. As little as a quarter inch of rain can cause the combined sewer system to overflow to the river.
