Two sessions will be held at Meadows Center, 5801 Westview Lane, Lisle. The first session will be held from 1:00 to 4:30 p.m. and the second will be from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Those interested are welcome to attend either session. The sessions will be an open house format, without formal presentations. Citizens may attend at their convenience to talk with representatives from the various organizations, on a one-on-one basis.

The ongoing construction project will be explained, along with the safeguards being taken for area residents. Also to be discussed will be $2 million in state funds for infrastructure assistance approved by Governor George H. Ryan, at the request of Illinois EPA Director Renee Cipriano, related to contamination of the private wells in DuPage County.
