IS
THERE WATER IN YOUR FUTURE?
It’s difficult to imagine a future
without water. But
were it not for
continual careful planning, engineering and management of this most
vital resource, there would be little of it to speak of in semi-arid
Pasadena, much less the thriving economic and cultural center we are
fortunate to call the “Rose City.”
With
so much concern about current shortfalls in supply, and predictions of
long-term drought, PWP is embarking on
crafting its most comprehensive water resource plan ever. The
Water Integrated Resources
Plan (WIRP) will be our city’s blueprint
for ensuring reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible
water supply for the next twenty-five years. It takes into consideration
available and alternative supplies, demand
forecasts, climate change and conservation.
PWP is seeking YOUR PARTICIPATION AND
COMMENTS as it prepares this critical document.
A
series of public workshops will be held to weigh concerns about water
sustainability, reliability, water quality,
emergency reserves, dependence on imported sources and the city’s
economic objectives and quality of life, among other issues. Our
public stakeholders are essential to creating a strong, effective
Water Integrated Resources Plan, and we hope to hear your
viewpoint.
Camp, Dresser
& McKee, Inc., the water resource planning
consultant retained by the City to assist in the development of the
WIRP, will facilitate discussion at the
workshops.
The City Council, Municipal Services Committee, and
Environmental Advisory Commission will also hold more public meetings on
this topic as the WIRP is developed.
