Drinking water is critical to all of us. We each play a role in the pollution and the protection of our water supplies. Come hear from the experts about what is affecting water quality and how we can make a difference at WakeUP's Feb. 27 free public forum, "Is Our Drinking Water in Danger?" Special emphasis will be on Falls Lake, because a crucial rule-making process is underway for cleaning up this main reservoir for Raleigh and Eastern Wake County municipalities.
WakeUP is hosting this timely public forum Feb. 27, with support from many civic organziations and local leaders and buisnesses.
It's that important...so REGISTER NOW and bring a concerned friend with you.
