Denton's Sustainability Framework Advisory Committee meeting on September 26 highlighted a pressing need for improved water usage strategies. Committee members emphasized the importance of reducing water consumption rather than solely focusing on mitigation goals.

One member pointed out that the water utility has historically operated quietly, often only being noticed when issues arise, such as during construction projects. This approach, while rooted in humility, has left the community lagging in effective communication about water resources.

The discussion underscored the critical role of the sustainability department, particularly the efforts of team members like Kat, in advocating for better awareness and management of water usage. The committee's call to action aims to shift the focus towards proactive measures that can lead to significant reductions in water consumption, ensuring a more sustainable future for Denton.

As the committee moves forward, the emphasis will be on fostering communication and collaboration to address these water challenges effectively.
