Municipal Water Use

To support the 2023 Regional Water Plans, a Municipal Water Demand and Wastewater Flow Forecasting Methods Report was prepared.  This report outlines the data sources used for the statewide municipal forecasts, the methodology for performing the forecasts, the stakeholder review process, input received, and forecast results by water planning region.  County-level details regarding permitted water withdrawals and wastewater facilities are included in the report and presented to the Councils to inform their planning efforts.

A video explaining the datasets and methods used to develop the municipal water demand forecasts is linked below.
