Greater Egypt asks for public input for new survey They say it'll take you less than five minutes. It's for anyone who lives in the urbanized Carbondale area, so it also applies to you if you live in places like Herrin or Carterville. The survey helps Greater Egypt learn how you want the funds to be used for water quality. "How do they want to see these funds utilized? As I said, if they wanna see different work shops, different educational materials, these are the things we're looking for," said Greater Egypt's Environmental Planning Director, Tyler Carpenter. The survey is open until the end of September.
