A floating solar panel could soon be making its way to a Peekskill reservoir.

Camp Field Reservoir is the source of drinking water for thousands of people in the area.

According to a proposal, Camp Field Reservoir may be the home to a Floating Solar Array.

News 12 spoke with the Ecological Citizens Project, a Peekskill nonprofit that is working on this proposal.

Jason Angell, the co-director, says there are benefits to projects like this.

"It could help them lower their electricity bill and really have a 25-year fund to help fight food insecurity, but we're always open to hearing what people have to think," Angell says.

A public hearing is set for May 12 at 7:30 p.m. It will take place at the Council Chambers at Peekskill City Hall.
