Please join us for the next CAP Open House Series event on Wednesday, October 30th at Kent Free Library’s upstairs community room from 6-7pm. We will be focusing on energy efficiency, including programs available to residents to help them take efficiency measures in their own homes. This is the third event in an ongoing series that seeks to share information about the City’s CAP work with the public and provide educational opportunities around topics within sustainability.

The City will present about their recently completed facility energy audits and share some highlights about clean energy tax credits available to consumers. Additional information will be shared by the Community Action Council of Portage County about area energy and housing programs that can connect folks to efficiency and home repair related initiatives. After the presentations, there will be an opportunity for a Q&A, as well as the option to browse a variety of program materials.

All are welcome and we hope to see you there! For additional details, check out our Energy Open House flyer.

The EPA has required all municipalities across the US to create an inventory of their water service line materials. CM has been working on creating this inventory by reviewing multiple types of records, field work, and service calls for meter work.  We are now asking for the citizen’s help in completing this task.

The water bill that was sent out recently, contained a survey asking the residents to participate in a survey. The survey will take 5 or 10 minutes to complete, and the information will be sent directly to us. It contains a QR code, web address, email, phone number, for information. If you do not have the water bill, the link and QR code can be found on this flyer. For help with finding your water meter and determining what type of water line you have, this guide is a useful resource.
