Polk County

County Water Plan Information

The Regional Water Plan compares water demand and wastewater flow forecasts along with the Resource Assessments for each county. Management practices seek to address the CNG Region’s likely resource challenges, needs, and shortages (as documented in Section 5 of the Regional Water Plan) or other goals specified by the Council. This page summarizes the potential gaps, needs, or shortages, also referred to as water resource management issues, for the county. All of the information presented may be referenced in the Regional Water Plan. 

Insufficient capacity or infrastructure shortages may have multiple solutions such as municipal facility expansions and/or the construction of new local or regional facilities. The intent of this page and the Regional Water Plan is to provide a global overview of the Region, but not to replace or undermine local capital improvement planning.
