Pittsfield Hosts Open Houses on Integrated Water Resources Management Plan
PITTSFIELD, Mass.— The City of Pittsfield's Department of Public Services and Utilities will be hosting two open houses on Nov. 10 in preparation of developing an Integrated Water Resources Management Plan (IWRMP).
The city is developing the IWRMP to evaluate the city's drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater systems. It aims to balance sustainable growth, environmental protection, and affordability while identifying infrastructure needs and management strategies. The plan will provide a roadmap for effective long-term water resource management in the city for years to come.
Community members will have two opportunities to learn more about this work and provide feedback on how the city should prioritize its water infrastructure:
- Monday, Nov. 10 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Ralph J. Froio Senior Center, 330 North Street, Pittsfield
- Monday, Nov. 10 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the former Community Design Center, 429 North Street, Pittsfield
The city received $1.2 million dollars in funding from the Clean Water Trust to develop this plan.
This investment will support the critical planning for the city's water infrastructure. For additional information on this meeting or on the IWRMP, visit Integrated Water
