The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for tonight into tomorrow morning for the metropolitan Boston area.

As such, the MWRA has decided to postpone the March 21 Forum on Lead in Drinking Water, as many of the participants are responsible for snow removal in their communities and will have been up all night or busy with clean-up duties.

Given the importance of this Forum, the MWRA wants to make sure as many people as possible can attend.

We will work with the Authority to reschedule as soon as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience.

At the March 17 Advisory Board meeting and formal public hearing, MWRA staff presented an overview of the Proposed FY17 CIP and CEB. You can find a copy of the presentation for review/printing here.
