A recent feasibility study has shown that the Water Partnership for Northwest MO has developed a plan that will provide safe, dependable water to the region at an affordable price. The results of this study will be shared at the Water Symposium IV on Friday, January 30, at the Student Union Ballroom at Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville. The Symposium begins at 1:00 PM. with the keynote address being delivered by the MO governor’s office. The public is invited to attend.
The Great Northwest Wholesale Water Commission has been formed to pursue implementation of this project. The commission membership will consist of representatives from participating local water districts and communities. Three local water districts have already pledged membership in the new commission; others have expressed an interest in joining.
Mr. Bill Jarocki, Director of the Environmental Finance Center, will provide a presentation on federal infrastructure funding. He will discuss new funding formulas that may prove useful financial strategies for the new commission.
Symposium IV is expected to draw over two hundred participants from twelve counties including leaders from water boards, city and county governments and legislators. To register for the Symposium, contact Jerri Dearmont at jerri@nwmorcog.org or call 660.582.5121.
