UPPER LAKE, Calif. — The condition of the levees in Upper Lake and the potential flood risk for area residents should the levees fail has prompted the Western Region Town Hall to call a special workshop to update the community on the situation.

The Western Region Town Hall, or WRTH, will host a special workshop at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 28, at the Habematolel community center, 9460 Main St. in Upper Lake.

The reason for the workshop is to inform the community of potential flood risk due to the condition of the area’s levees, which don’t allow for the capacity of water flow they were designed for, which in turn could lead to flooding.

The community is urged to attend.
