Celebrating Municipal Awareness Day

May 19 is Municipal Awareness Day.  Throughout our discussions with people in the region, we have heard about the importance of municipal infrastructure.  For example, some communities in this area have been on boil water advisories for quite some time.  This is not only annoying to people but they are also concerned about using the water for cooking and cleaning purposes.  In other communities, water quality is quite high.  Recreation is another aspect that comes out when discussing community health and well-being.  Some communities have infrastructure such as parks and trails that can help to keep people healthy while other communities do not.  On this Municipal Awareness Day, think about the services offered by your community.  What's working well and what needs to be improved?
