Water Rates and Improvemens focus of Lunch and Learn in March

The Dixon Main Street Lunch and Learn program at the Post House Ballroom on Wednesday, March 16 will feature a presentation on the City of Dixon Water Department and the recent rate changes and improvements.

“This is a very timely and important subject for everyone in the city of Dixon. We felt it would be appropriate to allow the public to come and learn more about this project and why it is happening," Josh Albrecht, Dixon Main Street Executive Director, said.

The program will highlight the city's efforts to comply with the EPA mandates for safe drinking water, including well enhancement projects and the water rate increase that came with the improvements.

"The best way to understand how your city works is to get the information straight from the source," Albrecht said.

The March Lunch and Learn is sponsored by Dixon Paint Company and US Bank and is catered by Mama Cimino's. Admission is $3 and includes lunch. The Lunch and Learn program is open to the public and reservations are not required. The program begins at 12 p.m. and normally finishes by 1 p.m.

For more information on the Lunch and Learn program, call Dixon Main Street at 815-288-2308.
