Committee presses for consolidated water studies and long-term water-availability analysis
Summary
Members asked staff to consolidate water studies and requested proof of long-term availability, with Chair Jeff Francom and member Keith Grover specifically asking for studies showing '100+ years of water availability.' Planner Jenna Huennekens will consult Rocky Mountain Environmental for recommendations.
Water availability and studies were a focal point during the Greater Rigby Area guiding-principles discussion. Committee members urged consolidation of existing water studies and asked staff to seek expert recommendations.
Keith Grover reiterated his earlier request to consolidate water studies so the committee has a single, collective resource. Chair Jeff Francom said the committee should require studies demonstrating '100+ years of water availability.' Planner Jenna Huennekens was asked to follow up with Rocky Mountain Environmental for guidance and recommendations on how to address water-resource questions in the plan.
Members said consolidated and authoritative water information is essential before identifying where growth and higher-density development should be allowed.
