From McHenry County:
McHenry County Water Forum Scheduled for Sept. 10
WOODSTOCK, Ill. – McHenry County is extending its annual invite to the public and policy makers to learn more about McHenry County’s water supply, and the need to use it wisely and protect it.
The eighth annual McHenry County Water Forum will be held from 5:30 to 8 p.m.
Wednesday, Sept. 10 at the McHenry County College Luecht Auditorium (Building B), 8900 Route 14, Crystal Lake.
The forum is hosted by the McHenry County Department of Planning and Development, with generous support from the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County and a wide range of sponsors.
This year’s theme is “Watersheds: Water Quality, Flooding, Land Use and Resiliency in
McHenry County.”
The forum will feature presentations by Baxter & Woodman Senior Environmental Planner Cecily Cunz, Village of Algonquin Chief Ecologist Brad Andresen, and Village of Algonquin Assistant Director of Public Works Michelle Zimmerman.
The Water Forum is free and open to the public, and free catered food will be provided by Duke’s Alehouse and Kitchen.
No registration is required.
Water is essential for life and livability, but few people understand where McHenry County’s water comes from, or the risks to its quality and sustainability.
The annual forum is a festive event where the public can learn about the county’s water supply, and
what people and government can do to ensure its cleanliness and sustainability for future generations.
