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.
