This month on “Wonderful Water,” join 97.9 The Hill’s Andrew Stuckey for a conversation with OWASA planning and development manager Kim Nimmer about OWASA’s water conservation standards, the importance of water conservation during times of drought — as well as when there is plenty of water. Reserves and reservoirs have been recently replenished by summer storms, but there’s always space for a little extra care and management of our community’s most critical resource.
“With any discussion about water conservation, it’s good to start with a reminder that we’re talking about a finite resource that is essential to both our health and our community security,” said Nimmer. “Our lives are truly dependent on the availability of a safe and dependable water supply.”
OWASA customers can learn more about everyday water conservation and OWASA programs here, and read over OWASA’s long-term water supply plan here — an outline of how OWASA will continue to reliably deliver water to Orange County in the decades to come.
“OWASA is always planning ahead and looking to the future to ensure our community has sufficient water supply resources,” said Nimmer. “… Thankfully, we did have that extra inflow of water from the remnants of tropical storm Debbie that helped replenish our reservoirs, so we’re currently in good shape.”
You can listen to the full conversation below, and visit the Wonderful Water page here for more interviews and stories about the work OWASA does in our community.
Chapel Hill and Carrboro residents use roughly 7 million gallons of water a day, and “Wonderful Water” is a monthly conversation sponsored by the Orange Water and Sewer Authority highlighting its work to keep our community growing and water flowing.
