Democratic state Representative Sharon Chung of Bloomington says the ban could provide peace of mind for the nearly a million people who drink from the aquifer if there ever was a leak. It's really important to protect our clean drinking water. It's something that I've heard a lot from, from constituent groups, um, advocacy groups for, for quite some time now.
