Received a press release from Pasadena Public Information Officer Ann Erdman about an upcoming workshop Nov. 9 on the city's resource plan, which we are passing on as many Altadena residents are served by Pasadena Water & Power:
PASADENA COMMUNITY INVITED TO NOV. 9 WORKSHOP ON CRITICAL WATER RESOURCE PLAN
With so much concern about current shortfalls in the water supply and predictions of long-term drought, Pasadena Water and Power is preparing to craft its most comprehensive water resource plan to date.
The Water Integrated Resource Plan will be Pasadena’s blueprint for ensuring a reliable, cost-effective and environmentally responsible water supply for next 25 years. The WIRP takes into consideration available and alternative supplies, demand forecasts, climate change and conservation.
During a third community workshop Tuesday, Nov. 9, at 6:30 p.m. in the council chamber at Pasadena City Hall, a consulting firm working with PWP and an advisory group of local citizens will present the draft document that emphasizes aggressive conservation, incorporates all previous comments and describes the framework for future investment in water supply and conservation programs. Workshop participants will have an opportunity to provide input on the draft plan.
The Municipal Services Committee and the Environmental Advisory Commission will hold public meetings on the WIRP as the plan is finalized and before it goes to the Pasadena City Council for approval.
