Thanks to everyone who joined us for our first History Speaks event! We’re back with an even bigger and better program—more space, improved visuals, and great sound.
🌊 About the Event
Today, clean, safe drinking water flows from your tap — but it wasn’t always that simple.
Early Arvadans often relied on agricultural ditches for water, sometimes with tragic results.
Join us for a lively discussion on how the 1910 Arvada water tower changed everything, and how the city’s growing population, new industries, and post-WWII expansion shaped the municipal water system we depend on today.
Speakers:
- Jim Sullivan
- Brad Wyant
- Tom Fletcher
🎙 Emcee: Sharon Davis
If you’ve ever wondered how water really reaches your home — come hear the full story!
We are re-organizing the date and location and look forward to seeing you soon at this great event.
