On May 7, City of Redmond Mayor John Marchione will speak at the Seattle Center International Fountain as part of an event that will reveal findings of a major study about the future of Puget Sound region’s drinking water supply for the next 50 years.
Repercussions of the announcement, which will be made from 10-10:30 a.m., will impact the area’s capacity to protect the environment and fish habitat, as well as the future economic competitiveness as a region.
Marchione, representing Redmond and the Cascade Water Alliance, will be among a number of speakers from the greater Puget Sound area who are part of the Water Supply Forum, which is made up of water suppliers in King, Pierce and Snohomish counties.
Other speakers include Chuck Clarke of Water Supply Forum, Ray Hoffman of Seattle Public Utilities, Jim Miller from the City of Everett and Linda McCrea from Tacoma Water.
The Water Supply Forum is a cooperative effort of representatives of public water systems and local governments in the central Puget Sound region and addresses current and future water supply issues, including supply planning, environmental stewardship and other water supply related issues currently facing the region.
