now. It would take a couple years to get finite numbers and data. Director Craig Woolard stated that a

driven by our reliance of conservation measures rather than storage was asked.Staff stated that one year
of drought or one season of it would put us in a severe situation because we don't have the water supply

discussed.

because this was best practice. If a plan was not adopted prior to the city experiencing a drought, it would
cause the city mitigating impacts from a financial and community standpoint.

public relations consultants with general information in non-drought years via bill stuffers and hosting
seminars. A full court press would happen with media and radio if and when this would become a dire
situation.This concept and plan was presented at the federal level and they wrote a letter of support for
the plan. j
