The City of Pullman is organizing a public forum on April 16, 2024, to engage the community in discussing its proposed Water Use Efficiency (WUE) goals for the upcoming ten years. This crucial event will commence at 10:00 a. m. in the Pullman City Hall Council Chambers and will last for one hour. The WUE goals are designed to promote efficient water use and ensure the sustainability of the Palouse Basin aquifer, a vital water source for the area.

Residents are encouraged to share their opinions, either in person during the forum or through written submissions due by 11 a. m. that same day. All received comments will be carefully reviewed by the City Council, which is expected to adopt the WUE goals in a subsequent meeting. Interested participants can find further information about the draft WUE Program in Chapter 4 of the City’s Water System Plan, accessible through a dedicated link.

This engagement reflects the City's commitment to involving the community in significant environmental decisions. Such initiatives are essential for addressing local water conservation challenges and promoting sustainable practices in Pullman.
