The City of Lincoln has a safe, reliable, and adequate water supply for the next 20 to 25 years. The City wants to remain resilient to potential drought conditions in the future.
In an effort to move forward with Lincoln’s water security for our future generations the City has establishing the Water 2.0: Securing Lincoln’s Second Source Project. A public open house regarding the city’s effort to secure a second water source will be held December 1 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at North Star High School at 5801 North 33rd St.
City staff and partners, including members of the Mayor’s Water Source Advisory Council, will be at the open house to answer questions. The event will feature several educational stations regarding Lincoln Water System’s history, current water data, planning efforts and information on current options to secure a second water source.
The City and Mayor’s Water Source Advisory Council is providing assistance to determine potential solutions and navigate complex design, construction, financial, legal, and governance options. The analysis is scheduled to be completed in early 2023.
