Aside from a dunk tank, water-themed activities, food trucks, and education materials, the city also brought out its 2022 Consumer Confidence Report for Goshen Water Utility. In it, the city outlines the origins of city water, possible contaminants, watershed protection efforts, and how city water compares to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and State of Indiana Standards. “We’ve come a long way, the United States in general,” Mattie Lehman, Goshen Stormwater specialist. “These waterways, while not pristine, are cleaner than they’ve been in 50, 60 years because we’ve done a ton of work to try and clean them out and now they’re a great recreational resource for people.”
