Take Action

Ask Questions Before Approval

Strong public oversight starts with specific, answerable questions.

What you can do

1. Ask for water numbers

Request annual water demand, peak-day demand, source of supply and drought-year projections.

2. Ask about alternatives

What recycled water, dry cooling, liquid cooling or other lower-water options were evaluated?

3. Attend public meetings

Planning commissions, city councils, county boards and utility meetings often provide opportunities for public comment.

4. Put it in writing

Submit comments before deadlines and ask agencies to answer specific water-supply questions in the public record.

5. Share local evidence

Submit dated photos and official water-level information. Avoid claiming one photo proves the cause of a water change.

6. Spread the site

Share SaveOurFreshWater.com and the flyers so more residents know what questions to ask.
