A major focus of the meeting will be water reuse challenges and opportunities. Members will also hear from affected large-scale water consumers and any interested members of the general public. This is part of the County s continuing effort to promote a positive dialogue with all elected officials on issues that have a regional impact, said Council Chair Pete von Reichbauer .
Water recycling offers an excellent opportunity to meet additional water demands.
One of the most critical needs faced by our region is developing and maintaining an adequate water supply for people and fish, said Councilmember Louise Miller . Our region s water demands increase with the population and water reuse can defer the need to develop expensive drinking water projects.
