And as reported by The Daily Courier on April 18, 2018, the City of Prescott is undertaking a multiyear investigation of Watson Lake water quality and options to improve the situation.
These and other water quality problems result from past events, and our options are limited.
Household wastewater is recharged into the aquifer.
Visit the City of Prescott website www.prescott-az.gov/documents/ which contains much information on proper handling of our waste stream.
3 – Participate in your community’s household hazardous waste (HHW) collection program.
Although a small fraction of the total waste stream, hazardous waste is extremely important.
I would add that Watson Lake is the crown jewel of the Granite Dells.
How many pictures of the Dells have you seen without Watson Lake?
Future generations may well thank us for their water supplies, even if those supplies include our wastewater.
On Aug. 4, the Citizens Water Advocacy Group (CWAG) will host a Legislative District 1 water issues candidate forum.
