  1. Future of Water Supply Planning • Driven by managing our expectations • Water availability limited by geographic location drives optimization • Focus on water use efficiency • Revenues generated from full cost pricing • Need for storage • Regional solutions • Greater state role seems likely • Use of integrated regional modeling infrastructure

  2. Implications for local utilities • Greater interdependence among utilities is likely—could see some system consolidation • Revenue may be driven more by customer rates and less by surplus water sales • Focus on the maintenance of existing systems to help minimize loss and extend system life • Promoting conservation will be your job • Permits will be more complex in how systems are operated • Systems will become more conjunctive

  3. Implications for local community development efforts • Comprehensive planning and water availability may need to become linked more directly • Greater certainty can be given to your economic development recruitment and site selection activities from effective water supply planning
