Strong public oversight starts with specific, answerable questions.
Request annual water demand, peak-day demand, source of supply and drought-year projections.
What recycled water, dry cooling, liquid cooling or other lower-water options were evaluated?
Planning commissions, city councils, county boards and utility meetings often provide opportunities for public comment.
Submit comments before deadlines and ask agencies to answer specific water-supply questions in the public record.
Submit dated photos and official water-level information. Avoid claiming one photo proves the cause of a water change.
Share SaveOurFreshWater.com and the flyers so more residents know what questions to ask.
Exactly where will the water come from?
How will use change during shortages?
Will actual water use be reported publicly each year?
