Gov. J.B. Pritzker recently signed into law a bill that would allow Aurora to dispose of lime sludge used in treating its drinking water. House Bill 3095 was passed by the state Senate earlier this year, and Pritzker signed it late last week. Aurora can now dispose of the lime sludge created by treatment of the city's drinking water in a mine on the edge of town. The process would allow the city to save about $7 million during 10 years of disposal costs under the method the city was going to use.
