Water Resources Forums

[31 Pa.B. 1635]

   The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), in partnership with the Governor's Center for Local Government Services of the Department of Community and Economic Development, the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and the Department of Agriculture, has scheduled 12 public forums for the purpose of collecting public input on this Commonwealth's current and future water resource needs.

   The forums are an opportunity for the State to hear what Commonwealth residents have to say about water resources issues.

   In an effort to promote and focus discussion, two questions have been developed that will be presented to the attendees:

   *  What one water resource need or issue do you feel needs greatest attention in your community?

   *  What tools do we need to help ensure adequate water supplies in this Commonwealth?

   The forums will begin at 7 p.m. There will also be water resource related State agency exhibits and information on display from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. There is no cost to attend the forum and registration is not required. For additional information, contact Kimberly Chism, Office of Water Management, Rachel Carson State Office Building, P. O. Box 2063, Harrisburg, PA 17105-2063, [phone], or visit the website at www.dep.state.pa.us (directLINK ''Water Resources'').
