Area's First Regional Water Collaboration Workshop, May 31
Posted on: Apr-26-2016
The City of Fort Collins is hosting a regional water collaboration workshop for water providers serving the City's Growth Management Area (GMA), including Fort Collins Utilities, East Larimer County Water District (ELCO) and Fort Collins-Loveland Water District (FCLWD), Tuesday, May 31, 4-8 p.m., Lincoln Center, 417 W. Magnolia St., Fort Collins.All water providers are experiencing the same challenges, including rising water supply costs, adequate storage, strong regional economic and population growth and climate change. These challenges create opportunities for regional collaboration in order to realize economies of scale, reduce or eliminate duplicative services and provide consistent service to all residents within the GMA.
This workshop is focused on recognizing opportunities and discussion will identify needs over the next 20 to 50 years that can be cooperatively addressed. Plans show Fort Collins is expected to grow to approximately 250,000 people in that timeframe, offering a compelling reason to address water needs of the entire area.
The City anticipates approximately 25 attendees, including Fort Collins City Council, professional staff from Fort Collins Utilities, and board members and professional staff from ELCO and FCLWD. This is a public listening session.
Meeting attendees may submit comments at https://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/2710179/Regional-Water-Collaboration-Comment-Form until June 14, or via a written form at the workshop.
Note: Because members of City Council may attend this event, it is being regarded as a meeting of the City Council and is open to the public. While no formal action by Council will be taken, the discussion of public business may occur.
