Joshua Basin Water District has released a draft of its Urban Water Management Plan for public review. A public hearing and board vote on the plan is set for June 1. Adoption of the plan is a prerequisite to receiving state funding and grants for projects that sustain local water availability and quality. The plan is also a critical “road map” for planning that will help steer board members’ decisions on water needs for the community. The plan is a source of maps, graphs, comparisons and projections for the Joshua Tree community, with overviews and data covering growth and projections for future water use; alternative supply options, shortage contingencies, and more. The draft Urban Water Management Plan is available for review at jbwd.org.
