Reminder: Nature of Water, March 22, Forbes Hall

Water trucks cost $850 a load and if our wells run dry that is the likely choice for replacing our water supply. That is a big cost to absorb. How much water is in our aquifer(s)? How do we find out? What are our options?

On March 22, Community Climate Resilience and Thetis Island Nature Conservancy is launching our "Nature of Water" series, we are hosting a series of events focusing on our water resources. The event will feature a discussion of our project, a short film "What the Water Tells Us", and a keynote address "Dinosaur Pee and the Future of Thetis Island's Water" by David Slade.

A key part of the project is to address areas that are important to Island residents. Please fill out our survey. The survey can be found in the latest Thetis Island Quarterly or in the foyer of Forbes Hall. The drop box for completed surveys is also in the foyer of Forbes Hall.

We look forward to seeing you!
