This event is part of the Future of the Colorado Plateau Forum series. Admission is free but pre-registration is required at https://waternav.eventbrite.com. Flagstaff, like most Arizona communities, has historically struggled to find enough water to meet growing demand. In recent years the City has relieved the pressure by reducing per-person demand for potable water through conservation measures, recycling substantial amounts of wastewater for reuse, and investing in new water sources and infrastructure. The purchase of Red Gap Ranch more than a decade ago was intended to provide a new water source for future growth, but emerging wastewater technologies for indirect potable reuse (IPR) and direct potable reuse (DPR) suggest that another route to a sustainable water future may be coming into view. Big decisions lie ahead. We want to hear from you!

The forum will be hosted by Gary Woodard, Senior Water Policy & Economics Consultant, Montgomery and Associates. Presenters will include:

• Brad Hill, Water Services Director, City of Flagstaff
• Robert Vane, Member, Flagstaff Water Group
• Matthew Payne, Principal, WestWater Research, LLC
• Channah Rock, Associate Professor and Water Quality Specialist, University of Arizona
• Erin Young, Water Resources Manager, City of Flagstaff
