China Consul General visits Carmel
Mayor Jim Brainard with Consul General Zhao Jian.
Mayor Jim Brainard welcomed a visit last week with Chinese Consul General in Chicago Mr. Zhao Jian who requested a meeting with the Mayor in Carmel. The two leaders met in the Mayor’s office and discussed China - United States relationships and the cooperation between China and Carmel.
“This was an important meeting to have with Zhao Jian and his staff. Although there are issues of disagreement between China and the United States, it is vital to talk to each other. It is important at local levels of government as well as the state and national level,” said Mayor Brainard.
Mayor Brainard will be leading a delegation of U.S. mayors to China this fall.

To comply with Indiana Department of Environmental Management state regulations, City of Carmel Utilities issues a Water Quality Report (also called Consumer Confidence Report) annually describing the quality of your drinking water. The purpose of this report is to raise your understanding of drinking water and awareness of the need to protect our drinking water sources.
Carmel Utilities is pleased to report that your tap water met or exceeded all Environmental Protection Agency and state standards in 2022.
In previous years, City of Carmel Utilities has combined both the Carmel Water and the Carmel Clay Citizens Water reports. However, this year the reports are separated to distinguish these utilities, as a benefit to both water utility customers.
