Local Communities Invite Public to Participate in Water Quality Survey Page 1 of 1 � v%• 'Building a 21St Century City " ' rs Stephen J. Luecke, Mayor RELEASE FROM: FOR RELEASE: OFFICE OF MAYOR LUECKE WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12, 2005 Local Communities Invite Public to Participate in Water Quality Survey The City of South Bend, in partnership with St. Joseph County, Ivy Tech State College and the Towns of Roseland and Osceola is conducting a public survey to assess community awareness of water quality issues and concerns. This information will assist in development of a Storm Water Management Plan that is consistent with federal and state guidelines for protecting our rivers and streams. A significant portion of this plan will address public education. The surveys have been distributed by all of the entities using various methods. The City of South Bend has included the survey in its Water Utility Bills which will be mailed throughout the month of January. Due to a mechanical problem, some of the surveys were not inserted in the Water bills during the first few days of January. Those who were missed in January will receive the surveys in their February bill. If you did not receive a survey you can visit the City website at www.ci.south-bend.in.us to print a copy or call the Mayor's Office at 235-9261 to request a survey to be mailed to your home. By completing the Water Quality Awareness Survey, you can help us design educational programs to benefit the water quality in our community. The survey gives you the opportunity to tell us what you know about water quality and storm water. The City of South Bend, St. Joseph County, Ivy Tech State College and the Towns of Roseland and Osceola encourage the public to participate in the Water Quality Awareness Survey for the St. Joseph County Area. You can play an important role in helping our Storm Water Management Team educate the community on becoming better environmental stewards as individuals and businesses. Fill out a Water Quality Awareness Survey today! For more information, contact Jason Duff, P.E., Division of Engineering, City of South Bend, 235-5998.
