Atlanta’s combined waste and stormwater system overloads during heavy rain, rushing raw sewage into the Chattahoochee River, which supplies the city’s drinking water. The city is currently building a massive tunnel to store the water until it can be properly treated.

The Rosendale Theatre will host a free public screening of the documentary, Liquid Assets: The Story of Our Water Infrastructure: an exploration of the systems for drinking water, sewage and stormwater that are usually out of sight yet so vital, on Tuesday, September 20 at 7 p.m. These complex and aging systems – some in the ground for more than 150 years – are under stress nationwide.

Sponsored by the Rosendale Environmental Commission for Ulster County Creek Week, the film will be followed by a community discussion with Jack Snyder, chair of the Rosendale Water and Sewer Commission, Jake Wedemeyer of the Ulster County Soil & Water Conservation District and Scott Cuppett of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s Hudson River Estuary Program. The Rosendale Theatre is located on Main Street in Rosendale.

Ulster County Creek Week, September 17 to 25, is a countywide celebration to help build awareness and encourage enjoyment of water and watersheds in Ulster County. For a schedule of other public events taking place in the area, visit http://ucenvironment.org/ulster-county-creek-week.
