TEMPLE TERRACE - The Hillsborough River’s low water level poses a threat to Temple Terrace’s natural resources and environment, the Temple Terrace River Watch Task Force said in a release.
Members of the task force will meet at the Rotary Riverfront Park, Morris Bridge Road and Fowler Avenue, 9 a.m. June 26 to assess the water level.
The six-member task force will then reconvene at 9:30 a.m. at Temple Terrace City Hall to address the issue.
“The Hillsborough River is in serious jeopardy right now,” City Councilman Frank Chillura, chairman of the task force, said in the release. “The river is a very valuable asset to this community, and right now it’s drying up. It’s getting worse by the day. It’s critically important that we protect this natural resource.”
Residents are welcome to attend the task force’s meetings. For information, call Michael Dunn at (813) 989-7197.
