Where did early Prescott get its water and why? King’s presentation highlights Prescott’s waterworks operation from 1864 to today with emphasis on the first 100 years. He will provide an overview of information gleaned from the archives of the Sharlot Hall Museum, City records, local libraries and personal interviews. He will focus on the source and water production facilities rather than water use, water policy and water law.

On Sunday, March 9 a panel of CWAG members will conduct an educational briefing for the public entitled “Water 101: The Facts About Our Water Supply.” This program is sponsored by the Northern Arizona Interfaith Council and will take place at 3 pm in Agape Hall at the Prescott United Methodist Church, 505 W. Gurley. NAIC has asked CWAG to focus on “the true state of affairs regarding how much water we have, how we can use it responsibly, and how to ensure its quality and adequacy for future generations,” so that citizens can “ensure that wise public policy is made to protect our water resources and ensure the equitable distribution of those resources.”

Guests are welcome at both presentations! For more info, call 445-4218, email This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it or visit the CWAGAZ website.
