Nearly 400 Attend Fall Water Symposium in Loveland
The Fall Water Symposium hosted by Northern Water drew nearly 400 attendees to hear about the challenges facing the region and the work being done to address those challenges.
The event on Nov. 15 at the Embassy Suites in Loveland drew from a cross-section of water users and stakeholders in the community. During the full day of presentations and discussions, attendees heard about the challenges to protect Northern Colorado’s native water supplies, the complexities of negotiations on the Colorado River and the issues facing the newly chosen presidents of the Northern Water Board of Directors and the Municipal Subdistrict Board of Directors.
Issues such as the link between cattle production and water use, Waters of the United States (WOTUS) and the construction of a pipeline to bring high quality water to the Arkansas River Valley also were presented.
Outgoing Northern Water Board President Mike Applegate was also honored for his 32 years of service to Northern Water.
Preparations are now under way for the Spring Water Symposium, planned for April 2, 2024, at the Embassy Suites in Loveland. Registration for that event will open in February.
