Water supply planning helps ensure that communities have a reliable supply of water – now and in the future – to support public health, healthy ecosystems, and economic vitality. While water quality is essential, water supply planning efforts focus primarily on maintaining adequate water quantity.

To date, Tri-County has completed two phases of water supply planning, centered on collaboration with the public, technical experts, and other stakeholders to identify priority topics for further study and goal development. The Phase I and Phase II reports, linked below, provide the foundation for the current Phase III effort, which focuses on advancing implementation of several key recommendations identified in Phase II.
