The selected vendor will provide services to develop Water Supply and Strategic Growth Elements to be adopted as chapters of the county’s Comprehensive Plan. Responsibilities include identifying existing water supplies within the county, assessing potential water sources to support future development, and compiling policies and tools that promote water conservation.
