A Northwest Reno community meeting to raise awareness about
the Chalk Creek watershed will be held Tues., Nov. 17 at
5:30 p.m. at the Northwest Reno Library, 2325 Robb Drive.
Chalk Creek is along the south side of Peavine Mountain by Robb Drive
and carries excessive amounts of salts, nitrogen and phosphorous. This
presentation by the city of Reno and Truckee River Fund
is aimed at reducing the runoff from over-irrigating, car washing and
other uses that carry fertilizers, pesticides and pollutants down the
gutter, into the Chalk Creek watershed and on to the Truckee River. The
meeting will summarize field research, the current situation, tips for
smart water use and pollution reduction in Northwest Reno. For more
