Stormwater Community Meeting Monday (Oct. 8)

The Metro Public Works Stormwater Program will host a community meeting on Monday, October 8, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Gordon Jewish Community Center (801 Percy Warner Boulevard) in Bellevue.

Anyone who is concerned with the quality of Davidson County's streams is encouraged to attend, and the meeting will also be informative and useful for anyone who has or is experiencing flooding or drainage problems on their property. The Metro Council has requested input from property owners as it considers the direction of the stormwater program and the services it provides. Here are a few of the specific questions that will be addressed:

• What is stormwater?
• How does Metro manage stormwater?
• How is the quality of the water in Nashville protected?
• How do I get my problem solved?
• What happens to my service request?
