All residnts of the county are urged to attend the meeting in their community for signup as users. Immediately following these community meetings, leaders will canvass the county with plans for completion of this initial phase to end by June 24. “This is a big undertaking that will require the help and cooperation of all the citizens of the county,” Lewis stated.
