In partnership with water providers, the Douglas County Water Commission is taking a proactive step toward a sustainable future with its ongoing effort to develop a comprehensive, long-term water supply plan designed to support the community for generations to come. 

The 2050 Comprehensive Douglas County Water Plan brings together local water providers, community members, and regional partners to better understand current water demands and plan for future growth. With a focus on reliability, resiliency, and responsible resource management, the effort aims to ensure a dependable water supply as the county continues to grow and evolve. 

Through a collaborative and data-driven process, the County is evaluating water demand, supply options, and practical strategies—from conservation and reuse to partnerships with local providers—to guide future decisions. 

Public input is a key part of the process, and the draft plan is ready for your input.  

Visit our webpage to share your input and join us at our upcoming open house. Your input will help shape the plan, which will guide future decisions about growth, conservation, and protecting local water resources.
