(KNZA)--Hiawatha is among twenty-six locations across the state where public meetings are being held this month to set regional water supply goals and priorities.
The meeting in Hiawatha will take place Thursday evening at 7 at the Hiawatha Middle School.
The meetings are being hosted by water vision regional teams. The 14 leadership teams will draft water supply goals based on public input and available resources. That public input is expected to help each team identify its region’s water supply priorities.
Trained facilitators from Kansas State University Research and Extension and the Institute for Civic Discourse and Democracy will help facilitate the public meetings.
The regional water supply goals that they draft will be presented to the Kansas Water Authority in May. The finalized regional goals are expected to be approved in August.
