Mayor Dana Ralph promoted a new cleanup event called Dive to Revive at Lake Meridian Park, scheduled from 9 a.m. to noon tomorrow. The mayor described the event as a matchup between divers and non-divers to remove trash and debris from the lake bottom and surrounding park areas.
Ralph said the event is a first-time activity and invited residents to attend. "This is a challenge between divers and people that are maybe not gonna get in the water about, cleaning up around Lake Meridian. So both, trash and debris that has gone into the lake and has settled on bottom, and then around the park. Again, that is from 9 to 12 tomorrow at Lake Meridian Park," she said.
Why it matters: Volunteer cleanups help remove pollution and debris from public parks and lakes and can reduce hazards and improve water and shoreline conditions. The mayor did not provide organizer contact information or instructions for volunteer registration during the update.
What was not specified: Registration procedures, safety requirements for divers, and whether equipment will be provided were not discussed.
