City engineering briefs commission on water‑conservation plan; consultant to present next week
Summary
City engineering staff said they and consultants have completed a near‑final draft of a water‑conservation and water‑preservation plan addressing culinary and pressurized irrigation needs; Ridley Griggs of the consultant firm will present the plan and the commission will consider a vote at next week's meeting.
City engineering staff updated the Planning Commission on a draft water‑conservation/water‑preservation plan and said a consultant will present a formal version at next week’s re‑noticed meeting.
Jonathan (city engineering) said city staff worked with consultant Hassan/Hasson Lewis to address comments from city reviewers and state agencies and to produce a plan that covers existing and future water conservation, includes an implementation timeline, and targets both culinary water and pressurized irrigation. He said a few state requests were not included because they were not required by legislation but staff could include them if the commission wished.
Jonathan told commissioners Ridley Griggs from the consultant team will make the formal presentation and staff will seek a vote next week. Staff also noted they had incorporated feedback on drought‑tolerant plant species from a local expert.
Next steps: Ridley Griggs will present the plan at the re‑noticed meeting; commissioners can ask questions and then vote on recommendations.
