The purpose of the meeting is to make progress toward the decision of whether or not to participate in the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District, Southern Water Supply Project. She stated that the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District East Slope Facilities Tour is scheduled for September 22, 1992, from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. It will depart from the District's office in Loveland.
