This is a story of citizen action and the importance of protecting the environment. Clearing the Water is a documentary film telling the story of the Lakes Region Clean Waters Association, founded in 1959 to clean up Lake Winnisquam.

 Its members provided leadership to the entire country in the early days of the environmental movement. Their actions led to the construction of a major state-run wastewater treatment facility that serves 10 communities in the Lakes Region today.

 If you haven’t seen this important film it’s a must. If you have, you’ll want to see it again. Join us Tuesday, Aug. 21 at 3 p.m. in Taylor Community’s Woodside Theater. This free event is open to the public.
