The City of Â鶹¹ÙÍø is responsible for supplying reliable, high-quality treated water to 120,000 customers. The reliability and quality of the water supply result from short-term operational decisions, long-term planning efforts and policy development that are informed by a variety of factors including scientific research, data, hands-on experience, economic considerations and community values. In this presentation, I’ll discuss the role that scientific information and data play in operation, development and management of the Â鶹¹ÙÍø’s water supply as well as the importance of communicating technical information to a variety of audiences.
