South Wedge Planning Committee

We were treated to a tour of the Highland Park Reservoir to see up close how the current water system works. Next week, on Wednesday, June 24 at 5:30pm at Olmsted Lodge the Water Department will hold a public meeting to discuss the future of both Highland and Cobbs Hill Reservoirs as part of the LT2 Compliance Project.

Join us to hear updates on the project so far and get the chance to tell city staff which of the options for our water system you like best.
