SUMMARY:July History Pub: Stink Water or Mountain Spring Water: A Century of Bend’s Water System
DESCRIPTION:In 1923\, Bend’s source for drinking water\, the Deschutes River\, was condemned by the state of Oregon as “unfit for human consumption.” What were the citizens of Bend to do? Would they filter it or look for a new supply? What would it cost\, and who would pay for it? \nPatrick Griffiths is an award-winning water resource administrator and water policy expert with over 22 years of leadership in municipal water rights management\, water conservation\, and regional water governance. As the former water resources manager for Bend\, Oregon\, he created the WaterWise program and successfully planned for the water demands of a rapidly growing urban population with critical environmental stewardship. Within the Deschutes River Basin\, Griffiths is widely recognized for designing innovative\, data-driven public conservation campaigns and orchestrating complex multi-party water management agreements to meet all identified new water needs. \nDoors open at 6:00 p.m.\nPresentation begins at 7:00 p.m. \nCLICK HERE FOR TICKETS
