City of Columbia Water Utility to host public meetings on proposed irrigation ordinance

The City of Columbia Water Utility will be hosting two public input meetings to discuss a proposed irrigation ordinance for Water Utility customers. The Utility designed this ordinance to reduce water use and support sustainable growth across the City.

The meeting schedule is:

• 6 p.m. Wednesday, June 10 in Conference Room 1A/1B at City Hall, 701 E. Broadway
• 4 p.m. Wednesday, June 17 at the Activity and Recreation Center, 1701 W. Ash St.

There will be a presentation at the start of the meeting, then customers will have the opportunity to engage with City staff regarding the background of the proposal, the necessity of the ordinance and the future of water use in Columbia.

A reliable water supply is essential to the community. These irrigation measures can reduce the peak water demands and the total amount of water used for the City's water system, allowing for the water supply and distribution systems to operate more efficiently by reducing operational costs and improving the longevity of the infrastructure.

Customers who cannot attend the meetings can ask questions and leave comments for Water Utility Staff at BeHeard.CoMo.gov.
