Water Hearing.jpgEvanston, let's talk about water! The Evanston Water Conservation & Efficiency Plan

The City of Evanston has partnered with the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning to create a Water Efficiency Program. The program serves as a step towards implementing Evanston's Climate Action Plan and will focus on water use and water supply issues in the city with the goal of increasing water efficiency and promoting water conservation.

The public meeting hopes to address the following questions: What are the current water supply conditions for Evanston? What are the possibilities for the future demand of the Evanston water supply? Residents are asked to take this opportunity to weigh in and assist Evanston as they create a Water Conservation & Efficiency Plan for the city.
