Columbia's Water Resource Plan meeting next Wednesday

Public feedback needed: Columbia's Water Resource Plan

Wed., October 19, come and go as you please from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
Activity and Recreation Center (ARC), 1701 West Ash Street

Should Columbia...Increase raw water supply and treatment capacity? Reclaim and reuse water? Manage demand for water? Implement more water conservation/efficiency measures? Capture stormwater for irrigation?

A Water Resource Plan is being developed to act as a guide to ensure a reliable, cost-effective water supply for the next 25 years and beyond. Through the long-term planning process, we can better prepare for potential challenges and evaluate alter­natives to incorporate new strategies in our water system. The Integrated Water Resource Plan will consider a broader range of water management strategies including new opportunities for conser­vation, reuse, and reclamation. Please go to CoMoWater.org for more information.

Columbians are urged to attend the public meeting and/or fill out the online survey at hwww.comowater.org/get-involved.html

Attached are the four fact sheets for the Water Resource Plan.

NOTE: This is a separate plan than the Our Columbia Waters Integrated Management Plan for the Wastewater and Stormwater utilities.
