The Imperial County Department of Public Works will host a community outreach meeting for residents and property owners within the Cady Poe Colonia County Service Area to provide information about a proposed sewer service rate adjustment, review the wastewater rate study, and answer questions from the community.

The community outreach meeting will take place on Thursday, May 28, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. at the Brawley Teen Center, 220 Magnolia Street, Brawley, CA 92227.
