City Utilities will host a series of introductory public meetings to inform and educate City Utilities customers about the City’s long term control plan to significantly reduce combined sewer overflow into Fort Wayne’s waterways. This 18-year plan will invest nearly $240 million in clean-water infrastructure that will eliminate up to 90% of the untreated sewage now flowing into our rivers and streams from sewers that carry both raw and storm sewage. All meetings start at 6:30 p.m.

The Foellinger Theater has kicked off another great season of free and low-cost movies and concerts. Every summer I see the schedule and think "let's not miss this" but nearly every year the summer ends and I haven't made it to a single show. This year I am going to resolve......we'll see. Anyway, don't be like me: check out the schedule at http://fortwayneparks.org/
