BWL Seeks Public Input

The IRP will help BWL assess future energy needs for customers and how it can meet those needs... giving neighbors an opportunity to learn about and be a part of the planning process.
No registration is required to attend the open house tonight from 4:30 to 7 p.m. at the Alfreda Schmidt Community Center.
