Dear Representative _________,
Please support HB5874 to protect the Mahomet Aquifer against the dangers posed by carbon capture and sequestration. This action is needed because previous legislation (SB1289) did not adequately recognize that alternative drinking water supplies are not available in this region of Illinois. Whether or not the Mahomet Aquifer is in the district you represent, it is important that all of our state officials recognize their responsibility to protect the citizens of Illinois, and that includes the nearly 1 million people in 100 communities and 14 counties who count on this sole water source for safe drinking water.
[Optional addition:] A fact sheet with additional information is attached.
Thank you,
