The Sewer Infrastructure Advisory Group is inviting the public to come out Thursday to the Brooks Street Riverfront Plaza on Brooks St. from 4 to 6 P.M.

This advisory group is a citizen panel appointed by the city council to find an affordable solution for Bend's pressing sewer problems.

Up unti lthe 1980's,  the only sewer pipes Bend owned were lcacted in the downtown area.

Now the city's sewer system is a hodgepodge of undersized pipes and hundreds of pumps.

The open house hopes to teach people about the city's sewer system and what it will take to fix it.
