Morgantown Utility Board announces two additional public meetings to discuss the route of the raw water line as it pertains to White Park. The meetings will include information on the various routes introduced at the BOPARC board meeting held May 16th and provide an opportunity for public comment.
“The intent of these meetings is two-fold. The first is to gather public input.The second is to share the latest information on the various raw water line route alternatives.” said MUB General Manager Tim Ball.
The next public meetings are scheduled for Friday, May 24th at 12 noon at BOPARC’s Marilla Center and Wednesday, May 29th at 5:30 p.m. in City Council Chambers. These meetings will include presentations by MUB followed by public comments, including a question and answer session and exchange of ideas.
