The Bartlesville Water Resources Committee will hold a special meeting on Thursday afternoon to continue their study on water solutions for the area.
 
According to the meeting's agenda, the committee will discuss and take possible action on narrowing down a list of potential water supply options. Those options include purchasing water from other municipalities, building a new city-owned lake in Osage County, tapping into an unexplored aquifer, negotiating with the Corps of Engineers to change the flood pool levels of usable water at Copan and Hulah, or to build pipelines to other reservoirs like Kaw Lake, Skiatook Lake and Birch Lake.
 
The committee is also expected to discuss and take possible action on recommending changes to the city's Water Shortage Ordinance, which the City Council suspended at a meeting on Sept. 5.
 
The meeting begins at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday and will be held in the first-floor conference room of Bartlesville City Hall. The meeting is open to the public.
