On January 31, the meeting was rescheduled, due to weather, until March 6, same time, same place.

Join us at:
Flood Alert! a regional water forum on flooding, sewer and storm water systems, and water quality
Thursday, Jan. 31st, at 7 p.m. in the auditorium of Beth El Temple on Concord Avenue in Belmont, on the Cambridge line.
It is on public transportation and has ample parking. (The parking lot is entered from Blanchard Road.)

• The forum will be moderated by Maria Van Dusen, former head of the Massachusetts Riverways Program.
• Grace Perez of the Mystic River Watershed Association will provide an overview of the challenges at Alewife and their effect on the whole Mystic River watershed.
• Municipal engineers from Arlington, Belmont and Cambridge will speak about the tough issues in their communities and how they are addressing them.

There will be a substantial question and answer period. The purpose of the "Flood Alert!" forum is to address these issues: define the problems, explore the causes, and discuss actions being taken.

Flood Alert! is co-sponsored by the Mystic River Watershed Association and the Belmont Citizens Forum and is supported by many other organizations in Cambridge, Arlington, and Belmont.
