<\/p>\n

A reliable supply of clean water is necessary for the social, economic, and environmental well-being of any area. The Water Supply Master Plan explains the strategy for providing a reliable and sustainable water supply cost-effectively. The Master Plan discusses the adopted water supply 'level of service' goal, water supply strategy to meet that goal, portfolio of water supply projects, and lays out the framework for the annual monitoring and assessment plan.<\/p>\n

POD<\/b>\u00a0utilizes the following method for water supplying master plan studies:<\/p>\n

\u2713 Assessment of water demands and projection
