As you shuffle into the bathroom in the morning and turn on the faucet to splash some water on your face or brush your teeth, have you given any thought to that cool, clear water rushing out? Where does it come from? Where will it go once it leaves your home?
Tomorrow evening, Wednesday, July 28, at 6 p.m. the Peabody Public Library is hosting an informational session to help local residents find answers to those questions and many more you haven't even thought of yet.
Gene Haskins of the Whitley County Soil & Water Conservation District, along with Scott Wagner of the Whitley County Health Department, Mike Dear of the Columbia City Water Department and Mike Cook of the Waste Water Treatment facility will all be present to share information about water in Whitley County.
As local authorities on water quality, they'll provide answers to audience questions and provide information about water programs and water conditions in Whitley County -- anything from water tables to your water bill...and explain where your water comes from and where it eventually goes.
The event is free and promises to be very informative.
