A public open house regarding the city’s Water 2.0, Securing Lincoln’s Second Source recommendation will be held Tuesday, March 7 at Southwest High School at 7001 South 14th St.
City staff and partners, including members of the Mayor’s Water Source Advisory Council, will be available to answer questions. The event will feature several educational stations regarding Lincoln Water System’s history, current water data, and information on the recommendation to develop a Missouri River wellfield and an underground pipeline to Lincoln.
Currently, Lincoln’s entire water supply comes from the Platte River wellfield. Projections and plans indicate that Lincoln has adequate water supply for the next 25 years. The Water 2.0, Securing Lincoln’s Second Source effort is to ensure Lincoln has sufficient water supply for future growth and prosperity. In addition, the effort will provide resiliency and redundancy for severe weather events.
The open house will run from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. For more information on the project click here.
