In March, the community is invited to explore Our Water Our Future,a unique exhibit on the
Charlottesville-Albemarle community water supply. Charlottesville Tomorrow will
share its independent analysis and history of our long-term water supply plans
in an engaging and interactive exhibit. The public will get factual and objective information about our water supply
goals, about the details of the 50-year water plan, the costs, the
environmental advantages and disadvantages, potential alternatives, and an
outline of the next steps that will move our community forward. Please join us for a First Fridays opening reception on March 5 from 5:30-7:30 pm.
