Former Water Manager Guilty of Making False Statements in Drinking Water Case

摘要

A former water system manager for the village of Crestwood faces up to five years in federal prison after being convicted April 29 of engaging in a 20-year fraud that blended contaminated well water with Lake Michigan water to augment the drinking water supply (United States v. Neubauer, N.D. 111., No. 11 CR 533-1,4/29/13). A jury found Theresa Neubauer, a former Crestwood water department clerk and the village's current police chief, guilty on 11 counts of making false statements to environmental regulators.
