Good morning Self-Supplied Water Users Working Group Members!
This is just a friendly reminder if you have not done so already please RSVP for our Thursday, January 9th 2020 from 4:00-7:15pm at the Toledo Fire Hall, 285 NE Burgess Rd, Toledo, OR 97391. Please RSVP at bit.ly/mwpprsvp.
Participants will learn about the interests and needs of self-supplied water users in the region, which includes rural homes, farms, and industries that supply their own water as opposed to getting it from a municipality or other water provider. We will have a presentation from the Well Water Program at Oregon State University on how to take care of domestic wells. We will also have a presentation from Oregon Department of Agriculture on the work of the Pesticide Stewardship Partnership in the Yamhill watershed and how it might inform work in the Mid-Coast. Pesticide Stewardship Partnerships find ways to reduce pesticide levels while measuring improvements in water quality and crop management using a cooperative, science-based approach. During the meeting the Partnership will identify criteria to help evaluate and prioritize the issues that partnership will ultimately focus on for strategy development. Dinner will be served.
