In June 2024, staff collaborated with local artists and grassroots organizers to produce the inaugural Longmont Water Fair. 
Aligned with Longmont's commitment to responsible water management, the Water Fair aimed to educate community members about the sources, journey, and collective responsibility of water stewardship. The event featured carefully crafted community learning objectives, with metrics collected to measure their achievement. 
The fair attracted between 400-500 attendees, with 68% participating in a post-event survey. The event supported the Conservation Program's community learning goals and facilitated feedback and engagement on the City's Water Efficiency Plan update.
