Body

At the October 20, 2020 Board of Public Utilities meeting, members of the BPU requested that the department conduct a survey of the community to determine the level of support or opposition to the newly adopted environmental goals. DPU staff selected vendor Triton Polling and Research to conduct the survey to a statistically significant sample of Los Alamos citizens to ensure a 95 percent confidence level with a margin of error of +/- 4.3 percent.

Triton Polling and Research conducted the live phone survey and online email survey from December 14th through December 18th and obtained 515 responses.  The survey results indicate that there is more citizen support for each environmental goal than citizen opposition.
