Wawa Hosting Open House on Water System Rehabilitation Project

Wawa residents are being encouraged to learn about plans to rehabilitate the water system.

A special open house is being held tonight, and Infrastructure Services Assistant Director Rebecca Weatherall notes public consultations are an important part of the environmental assessment process, to ensure people are informed and able to give input.
