The City of Fort Wayne will host Indiana'€™s Water Pollution Control Board on Wednesday, June 13.

City officials will take board members on a tour of several sites around the City related to water quality.

Additional locations will include the Water Pollution Control Plant, which is in the middle of a $32 million project to increase sewage capacity. Other highlights will include the Camp Scott site in southeast Fort Wayne, a $20 million project to improve stormwater quality and reduce basement backups.

At 1:30 p.m., the board will have an official monthly meeting in the Omni Room of the City-County Building. The board'€™s agenda can be found on the Indiana Department of Environmental Management website, www.in.gov/idem.

“We look forward to hosting the Water Pollution Control Board,” said Greg Meszaros, Director of Public Works and City Utilities. “This is a unique opportunity for Fort Wayne to demonstrate how proactive water, sewer and stormwater projects can have a positive impact on a community.”
