Learn more about McHenry County’s water supply and how to protect it at the water forum:

McHenry County is extending its annual invite to the public and policymakers to learn more about McHenry County’s water supply, and the need to use it wisely and protect it.

The ninth annual McHenry County Water Forum will be held from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 16 at the McHenry County College Luecht Auditorium (Building B), 8900 Route 14, Crystal Lake. The forum is hosted by the McHenry County Department of Planning and Development, with generous support from the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County and a wide range of sponsors.

The Water Forum is free and open to the public, and no registration is required. Free catered food will be provided by Duke’s Alehouse and Kitchen; multiple serving lines will be in place this year to provide faster service.

Gloria Steinem was a journalist and activist who lead the fight for women’s equality. We honor and celebrate her legacy by continuing the fight and working to get women elected to office. Rest in power, Gloria.
