Rochester Airport Environmental Assessment

Lenwood Heights

On July 10, 2008 several Rochester City Council Members and City staff conducted an Informational Meeting for the Lenwood Heights / Brook Lane neighborhoods to discuss the possible extension of city sanitary sewer and watermain to serve the neighborhood. At the meeting the neighborhood requested that the City establish a web-site containing the information presented at the meeting, subsequent inquiries with City responses and other pertinent information related to the neighborhood regarding the possible extension of city sanitary sewer and watermain to serve the neighborhood.

This web-site is established to serve that purpose.
