In Sullivan, Illinois, experts from the Illinois State Water Survey are delving into the geological factors that have led to the city’s persistent water crisis. This comes as residents face extended mandatory water conservation measures.
Earlier this year, WCIA highlighted that the water levels in Sullivan’s wells had dropped by 15 feet due to a prolonged drought affecting Central Illinois. Although the U.S. drought monitor indicates that Sullivan has been drought-free for nearly two months, the levels in its aquifer have not fully recovered.
