Take me out to the <ball game> community water forum
October 13 , 2005 by EditorTake a break from watching the baseball play-offs to learn more about water in Mesa. Find the answer to the question,
"What is drought, exactly?" and discover how century-old trees could hold the key to how wet or dry the upcoming winter might be at a free community water forum sponsored by the City of Mesa Utilities Department.Residents are invited to participate in an open discussion on water-related issues of interest. Speakers include Charlie Ester, manager of water resource operations at SRP, and Bill Haney, City of Mesa water division director. Ester will discuss the topic of drought and whether or not the current drought is over, and review recent findings that may help predict rain patterns in Arizona. Haney will discuss Mesa’s 100-year assured water supply and how it is determined. He also will cover how Mesa’s continued growth impacts the City’s aging water infrastructure and future plans to meet rising demands. Attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions after each presentation.
"This open forum offers our customers a chance to learn more about water issues and to discuss additional topics of interest," said Haney. "I hope that residents will take advantage of this community event, and the opportunity it presents to learn more about the City in which they live."
The event will be held 7 – 8:30 p.m., Oct. 18 at the City of Mesa Utilities Building Community Room, 640 N. Mesa Drive. Light refreshments will be served. Registration is not required for this free event. For more information, contact Stacy Damp, utilities public information officer, at (480) 644-4844.
