SYSTEM WATER PLANS

The system water plan includes a water supply plan, water conservation plan, and drought preparedness plan. Water providers are required to develop the plan to ensure they reduce their vulnerability to drought and prepare to respond to potential water shortage conditions.

  • Plans for small community water systems (serving < 1,850 people) were due Jan. 2, 2008.
  • Plans for large water systems were due in Jan. 2007.
  • Updates are due every five years.
