The Chamber will hold a working session with Mark Mesiti-Miller, the Chamber’s designee to the Water Supply Advisory Committee, Monday, July 13, from 3:15 to 4:45 at the MAH Board Room. WSAC has developed near unanimity around some questions once thought to be contentious. But several key issues remain: “What should we do if those preferred but untested options prove insufficient? What are the triggers that will move us to this second tier of options? How will we insure that the community doesn‘t have to do the work of WSAC over again in the future?
Mesiti-Miller will summarize the WSAC experience, the current state of the process, and the questions yet to be answered. He will also describe his notions for how these questions might best be answered and ask for recommendations and counsel from the working sessions’ participants.
Join us Monday, July 13, 3:15 at the MAH Board room for this conversation. Please register in advance. There is a $10 fee for materials and refreshments.
And, we are sure you are asking, “Upon which intractable questions have the WSAC participants come to a general agreement?” This is a surprising long list. Key areas of consensus include: How much water do we need and how much are we short? How much water savings can we expect from conservation efforts? What allowance must we make for climate change?
What would be a consensus “first choice” alternative that, if effective, would solve our water issues?
Hear more about these and other WSAC success as well as the work yet to be done July 13.
