The City of Santa Fe is now accepting applications for three vacant positions on its Water Conservation Committee. As an advisory group for the City, the Committee assists with policy recommendations and evaluates specific programs related to water conservation.
The Water Conservation Committee was established in 2002 to promote water conservation and advise elected officials on relevant topics. The Committee provides input on the identification, implementation and effectiveness of various water conservation programs including policy, rebates, media and public outreach and education.
Candidates are appointed by the Mayor and approved by the City Council and are assigned a two year term limit with the opportunity to serve up to two consecutive terms. Committee members dedicate their time to attend regular meetings scheduled from 4pm to 6pm at City Hall on the second Tuesday of each month. Additional time will be required to address various agenda items.
Community members who have an interest and/or professional expertise in water conservation are invited to submit a letter of interest and brief resume to Christine Y. Chavez, Water Conservation Manager, Water Conservation Department, at cychavez@santafenm.gov. You may also contact the Water Conservation Committee Chair, Peter Ives, at pnives@santafenm.gov.
