‘Get the facts’ water forums begin on Saturday

Toowoomba City Council is holding two water forums this Saturday, June 10.

“The forums are an opportunity for people who are as yet undecided about the Water Futures project a chance to get the facts and ask questions,” Mayor Dianne Thorley said.<p>

“Our focus has always been one of educating the community about water.”<p>

Each of the forums will begin with presentations from Director of Engineering Services Kevin Flanagan and Manager of Laboratory Services Alan Kleinschmidt.<p>

There will then be an opportunity for people to ask questions of the experts and speak to Councillors about their views.<p>

The morning forum will be held at Centenary Heights High School from 9.30am to 11am. An afternoon forum will be held at Harristown State High School from 2pm to 3.30pm.<p>

“These forums are for people who want to be informed,” Cr Thorley said. “They are about the provision of information and reasonable discussion.”<p>

Future forums will be held at Mt Lofty State High School and Wilsonton State Primary School next weekend.
