We were treated to a tour of the Highland Park Reservoir to see up close how the current water system works. Next week, on Wednesday, June 24 at 5:30pm at Olmsted Lodge the Water Department will hold a public meeting to discuss the future of both Highland and Cobbs Hill Reservoirs as part of the LT2 Compliance Project.

Join us to hear updates on the project so far and get the chance to tell city staff which of the options for our water system you like best.

Thank you so much to everyone who came out for The Great South Wedge Hunt! Our "Swedgers" got creative and even found some unexpected guests! We were thankful to see Mayor Evans supporting our small businesses and to the Shimmy Mob for choosing our neighborhood as a flash mob location. We are also thankful to the small businesses who were clue stops!
