The Chatham County Democratic Women will sponsor an event entitled “Water and Growth in Chatham County” on Sunday, Feb. 10 at 3 p.m. in the multipurpose room of the Central Carolina Community College in Pittsboro.

Allison Weakly, biologist and chair of the Chatham County Environmental Review Board, will speak about the effect of growth on the county’s water and ecology. County Commissioner George Lucier will also speak, addressing the effect of growth on the county’s ability to provide clean water to citizens.

A question-and-answer session will follow the talks. The program is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Kathy Seaton at jkseaton@bellsouth.net
