El Paso County Water Master Plan
-
Achievement Award ProgramEl Paso County, Colorado (Colorado Springs) is one of the fastest growing counties in the state, experiencing a 1.8 percent population bump in the last year alone. El Paso County is also considered one of the most desirable communities to live in in the nation, and is home to five military installations. We are a booming region and have more than 70 public water suppliers in the area, most of which rely on limited groundwater supplies, including eight municipalities in the County. This creates a complex challenge when it comes to managing our invaluable water supply, and that is why the El Paso County Planning and Community Development Department chose to construct the El Paso County Water Master Plan. The El Paso County Water Master Plan is a topical element of the overall El Paso County Master Plan. The Water Master Plan examines the current state of water resources in El Paso County and provides an overview of County water supply needs to sustain the current population, and accommodate growth through the year 2060. The Water Master Plan will be utilized to evaluate development proposals and guide County officials, staff, citizens and water providers as our region experiences significant growth in the coming years. The top priority of the plan is to facilitate responsible development, and protect one of our most precious resources, water, so that current and future residents can thrive in El Paso County for decades to come.
