Councilman Charles Groeteke is hosting an open house titled “Living with Water: An Introduction to Your Rock Creek Watershed” on September 30, from 4:30-7 p.m. at the Mastodon State Historic Site in Imperial. The event aims to educate residents about the Rock Creek watershed and its flooding challenges. Various agencies, including the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, will be present to answer questions.
Repeated flooding in the Seckman Valley, which has impacted local roads and facilities, highlights the importance of understanding watershed dynamics. Groeteke’s initiative follows discussions with multiple agencies and stakeholders, emphasizing education on water management and preservation strategies. For more information, attendees can contact Groeteke directly.
