Execute Task Order No. 9!
The Moscow city council convened to discuss Task Order No. 9, a significant initiative aimed at identifying alternative water sources for the city, particularly from the Clearwater River. This project, led by the Palouse Basin Aquifer Committee, focuses on assessing water availability and developing a design for the necessary infrastructure to transport water to Moscow. Tyler Palmer from city staff emphasized the project's commitment to community engagement and collaboration with the Nez Perce Tribe throughout the process.

The meeting illustrated the balance between advancing recreational projects and addressing critical infrastructure needs. Task Order No. 9 exemplifies proactive measures by the city to secure future water resources while fostering community involvement.
