Water Protection and Sustainability Program

District goal
- Cost-share funding for projects that have the greatest certainty to supply projected water needs through 2025 such that:
- Water supply problems in water use caution areas are solved
- Identification of new priority water use caution areas are avoided
District priorities for funding
- Large projects that provide significant quantities of new sources of water to address projected regional water demands
- Smaller projects ready to go that help sustain current supplies and extend the time until larger projects are completed
