# Public Hearing
Water Bureau will hold a public hearing on closing the MDC properties to recreation July 20th, 5:30pm at the Auditorium at Town Hall in West Hartford. For maximum impact we need to fill/overfill the meeting room to show how important keeping the Res open to recreational activities is to us.

Yes pitchforks and torches.

Seriously, I expect it to be civilized...

I'll probably be there and hoping to maybe even squeeze a ride in after the hearing followed by beer and pizza at M&S!

Pretty much as long as I want it too... Not sure what will come out of this meeting but imagine that my initial presence will have the most impact!

This is getting a lot of radio and TV coverage between last night and this morning, should be a large turnout.
