Weigh in on Tucson's One Water 2100 plan by July 21nd

important take-away from WMG

We have one last chance to weigh in on the One Water 2100 (draft) plan. The deadline is July 21, 2023.

Sustainable Tucson's water committee is currently working on our organization's comments on the plan.  Some of us attended Watershed Management Group's letter writing workshop. They had some excellent recommendations for points to comment on. They suggest that we all submit individual comments as well. Please, consider checking out WMG'S recommendations and personalizing your comment so it doesn't sound like a petition or form letter. For example, you might include why it is important to you.

Here is a recording of the WMG meeting.

NOTE: The first 83 pages of the plan is background information on Tucson's water. Good information, but you might want to scroll past that to get to their plans for the future of Tucson's Water.

Weigh in on Tucson's water future on the One Water 2100 Survey - by January 31

As Colorado River water grows increasingly scarce, the City of Tucson is working to secure our water future. Tucson Water is currently developing a plan to manage the city’s water resources. The goal of the One Water Master Plan is to foster a shared vision for providing a reliable source of the highest quality water for our community in the decades to come. As part of the planning process, the city developed a survey to gather input from its customers by January 31, 2023.

Sustainable Tucson applauds the City’s efforts to reach out to the community. To aid in that effort, members of the water committee have reviewed the survey and developed an INFORMATION SHEET clarifying and sharing some considerations for the different strategies..

Please, take advantage of this opportunity to weigh in on one of the most important issues of our time.
