Water District 19 discusses new plan
Water District 19 will hold a public meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 14 to present a draft of its 2020-2026 Water System Plan. The plan — now in draft form and being reviewed by the state Department of Health — examines the adequacy of the district’s supplies to meet its customers’ demand for water, and provides a blueprint for more than $4 million in capital investment by the district over the next decade. According to the draft plan, the district aims to replace aging water mains, thereby reducing leakage and improving the quality of the water delivered to the 1,500 households and businesses that it serves. The meeting will take place at the District’s offices, 17630 100th Ave. SW. Masks are required.
