A panel of regional and local stakeholders will share progress on the Wissahickon Clean Water Partnership and discuss the watershed-wide research and planning that will result in a new holistic approach to improving water quality. Friends of the Wissahickon and the WVWA are co-hosting this event, along with our like-minded partners, as a follow-up to two previous town hall meetings held in 2012 and 2015 on an issue that impacts all of us.
