The event is free and open to the public.
Panelists will discuss the environmental, technical, financial and political impacts of the Vista Ridge Pipeline project. How will the pipeline impact the local economy?

Panelists at the event will include SAWS President and CEO Robert R. Puente, District 8 Councilman Ron Nirenberg, St. Mary's University Assistant Professor of Law and Registered Geoscientist Amy Hardberger and UTSA College of Engineering Dean JoAnn Browning.

Following remarks by the four-member panel, members of the audience will have an opportunity to ask the panel questions about the proposed Vista Ridge Pipeline project.
This is the second of three community discussions in its "Conversations on Water" series, sponsored by San Antonio Water System, which examines the impact of the Vista Ridge Pipeline proposal and other water issues facing Texas. The UTSA College of Public Policy seeks to foster academic discussion on a variety of major issues that affect the community, the nation and the world.
