Official Public Notices: Indianapolis Infrastructure Updates and Health Advisories

Public Health Advisory: Speedway Boil Water Notice

Residents in the Town of Speedway and surrounding Marion County neighborhoods are advised that the boil water notice remains in effect through Friday, February 6, 2026. This notice follows multiple water main breaks earlier this week. While the first round of testing showed no presence of harmful bacteria, a second round of required water quality samples was submitted on Thursday. Official results and a potential lift of the order are expected by late Friday afternoon.

• Affected residents should boil water for at least one minute before consumption, cooking, or oral hygiene.
• Free bottled water remains available at the Speedway Municipal Center until 5:00 p.m. today.
• Service for businesses dependent on town water may remain limited until the system pressure is fully restored.

City-County Council: Legislative and Traffic Updates

The Indianapolis City-County Council has introduced several new proposals impacting local districts. Proposal No. 47, 2026, initiated by the Department of Public Works, seeks to reduce the speed limit to 25 miles per hour on all local streets within the Moorings subdivision in District 4. This proposal is currently under review by the Public Works Committee to improve residential safety.

Additionally, the Council has formally designated February 2026 as American Heart Month via Proposal No. 59. This initiative encourages all municipal departments and residents to engage in CPR training and cardiac emergency response education. Following National Wear Red Day on February 5, the city continues to promote the use of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in all public venues throughout the month.

Environmental Notice: Eagle Creek Wastewater Proposal

Public attention remains focused on the state-backed LEAP district water plan following a Parks and Recreation Committee meeting held on Thursday. City leaders and environmental advocates are currently reviewing proposals regarding the return of treated wastewater into the Eagle Creek watershed. Official discussions are centered on ensuring the biological and chemical disinfection protocols meet federal Clean Water Act standards before any discharge permits are finalized. Residents are encouraged to monitor future committee agendas for public comment opportunities regarding the protection of the Eagle Creek Reservoir.

Weather and Public Safety: Rising Temperatures

As Indianapolis moves into Friday, February 6, the National Weather Service indicates a transition to temperatures above the freezing mark. While this marks an end to the extreme cold of previous weeks, the Department of Public Works reminds residents of the potential for localized flooding and street ponding as snowmelt begins. Property owners are encouraged to clear debris from storm drains to facilitate drainage and to remain cautious of falling ice from rooftops and overhead structures.
