Water Conservation Committee Seeking Applicants

The City of Santa Fe is accepting applications to fill three vacancies on the Water Conservation Committee. Two positions are available for City of Santa Fe residents, and one position is available for a Santa Fe County resident who lives outside city limits.

The Water Conservation Committee is a mayor-appointed advisory group that helps guide the City's efforts to protect and sustain local water resources. Members promote water conservation, develop conservation proposals, and provide recommendations on water-related policies and activities.

Who Can Apply?

The City encourages applications from individuals with diverse backgrounds and perspectives. While anyone meeting the residency requirements may apply, preference is given to applicants with experience or expertise in:

• Landscaping and water conservation practices

• Building construction practices

• Educational program development and implementation

• Land use policies

• Hydrology, engineering, or other water-related technical fields

• Water quality

Committee members serve two-year terms and may serve up to three consecutive terms. The committee typically meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 4 p.m., with meetings lasting approximately two hours.

How to Apply

Interested applicants should submit a letter of interest and a brief résumé outlining their background, qualifications, and interest in water conservation.
