Water Infrastructure Finance Commission to Hold Public Hearing in Westborough

Senator Eldridge and Representative Dykema to Attend

WHAT: The Water Infrastructure Finance Commission (WIFC) is holding a series of hearings across the state, and invites local municipal officials, water department and water district officials, groups and agencies interested in water policy, environmental and consumer protection groups, professionals in the fields of water supply engineering and pricing, and other interested members of the public to attend.

WHEN: Wednesday, October 20th 10am

WHERE: Forbes Municipal Building 45 West Main St, 2nd Floor, Room 23/24 Westborough, MA 01581

WHO: In recent months, the front pages have covered stories that highlighted the importance of public investment in water infrastructure across the Commonwealth. The public is aware that burst or leaking pipes, water contamination, inadequate treatment, and flood waters can be major inconveniences and sometimes, can lead to tragic outcomes.

The WIFC was established by Act of the Legislature pursuant to Section 145 of Chapter 27 of the Acts of 2009. The Commission is charged with developing a comprehensive, long range water infrastructure finance plan for the commonwealth and its municipalities. Governor Patrick appointed Senator Jamie Eldridge to be chair of the eighteen member Commission, and Representative Carolyn Dykema is the House appointee.

All are welcome to testify or observe the public hearing.

My Robot Does This, My Robot Does That
By Gabrielle Delgado 

My robot does this
My robot does that
He can do a back flip
And swing a baseball bat
He can make music
That makes me want to dance
He’s a brilliant cook
He’s cooked in Paris, France
Every time he presses a button
My life is filled with fun
But that is only half of it
I only have begun
He can climb Mount Everest
He can do the tango
He can teach a puppy
How to balance on a mango
My robot is fantastic
My robot is so great
He’s coming soon for driving lessons
I bet he won’t be late!
