new!The Rivers Alive planning committee is looking for waterway sites in the Athens area that are need of garbage removal and general clean up. Recommendations can be submitted until Friday, August 20. This year's Rivers Alive event will be held Sunday, October 24, from 1:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Rivers Alive is an annual cleanup event held at streams, rivers, and lakes all over Georgia. The Athens event has become so successful that many of the usual cleanup sites aren't very dirty anymore. For this reason, the Rivers Alive planning committee is asking the public for suggestions about waterways in their neighborhoods or elsewhere in the community that are in need of attention.
Each recommendation will be assessed by Rivers Alive for suitability, accessibility, and potential hazards. Volunteers won't be sent to a site if it is found to be dangerous or if it poses other problems. If a site is selected, volunteers will remove any litter that has accumulated there. The volunteers range from rugged outdoorsmen to families with children. No site is too difficult or too easy to consider.
Waterway clean-up recommendations can be submitted via email to savewater@athensclarkecounty.com or by calling Marilyn Hall, Water Conservation Coordinator with the Athens-Clarke Public Utilities Department, at 706-613-3729.
