Operationally, this requires the TMWA to have 380 pressure regulator stations, 118 booster pump stations, 95 water tanks and five treatment plants to meet peak customer water demand and fire-flow requirements. In addition, TMWA relies on 86 groundwater wells to meet peak summer water demands and provide resiliency during droughts. Additionally, the City of Reno and Washoe County are focused on making the Truckee River a world-class destination where tourists and residents alike can enjoy recreation and so much more. In March 2023, through the American Rescue Plan Act, $3 million was received to invest in the Truckee River and adjacent land. Currently, the city and county are seeking a cohesive plan for the Truckee River as well as an implementation and financing plan to help guide current and future investments in this area. Knowing that, and adding to the fact that the City of Sparks, Truckee Meadows Regional Planning Agency, our University and Community College, EDAWN and more have invested time and effort into their own individual master plans, how do we ensure that we are sharing the same vision? And, are the goals of the individual community aligned with the overall goals that will protect and contribute to the health of the area? These questions are ones that AIANN are asking. In efforts to make sure that the area grows to accommodate expanding populations while protecting the beautiful landscape and especially the Truckee River, all interested parties are encouraged to attend The Integrator meetings.
