Residents are encouraged to share their opinions, either in person during the forum or through written submissions due by 11 a. m. that same day. All received comments will be carefully reviewed by the City Council, which is expected to adopt the WUE goals in a subsequent meeting. Interested participants can find further information about the draft WUE Program in Chapter 4 of the City’s Water System Plan, accessible through a dedicated link.
