Community Asked for Input on Water Solutions

| Posted on |

The continuing drought and the need to establish new sources of water in the region are the focus of a new community outreach effort. It involves the major organizations related to the problem and will include a series of public forums and online surveys to get feedback from the community.

Major funding for this activity came from a public engagement grant awarded to the Tuolumne Utilities District (TUD) by the Davenport Institute, which is part of the Pepperdine University School of Public Policy, http://publicpolicy.pepperdine.edu/davenport-institute/.

“The District was thrilled and honored to be selected by the Davenport Institute to move forward on such an important and critical issue facing our County,” states Lisa Westbrook, Public Relations for TUD. “We look forward with educating the public about the history and facts about our water supply. The goal is to have the community decide the future of their water supply.”

New website developed: www.yourwaterchoices.com

In order to move the public engagement process along, TUD is partnering with Sentium Strategic Communications (El Dorado Hills, CA) to assist in planning, management, and production of the citizen engagement project.

A new information website has been created at www.yourwaterchoices.com. It gives information on the public engagement process, the history of Tuolumne County’s water, the issues facing the County, and possible water solutions.

Starting March 20, 2015, the Community Water Council (a group of County leaders) will begin meetings to discuss the County’s water supply issues, water supply alternatives, and determine their recommendations on the best way to address the problem.

“As the public engagement process expands, we plan to hold public forums throughout the County in the summer months to gather additional responses from the community,” states Westbrook.

The goal of the public engagement process is to educate the public about their water supply and discuss water supply alternatives. The conclusion to the process would be for the public to make an informed decision on the future of water supply for Tuolumne County.

All residents can sign-up to receive email updates when there is new information available on the website. This is available at www.yourwaterchoices.com
