NWFWMD to discuss water supply assessment update this week

The Northwest Florida Water Management District will host three informational public workshops this week to present its 2013 Water Supply Assessment Update. 

The District updates the Water Supply Assessment for Northwest Florida every five years. 

The updates are used to evaluate whether the North Florida water supply is adequate for all existing and future uses and to sustain the water resources and related natural systems over the next 20 years.  

At these workshops, District staff will present a general overview of the water supply assessment and planning process and the draft results of the most recent update to the Water Supply Assessment. 

The public will have an opportunity to ask questions and to comment on the District’s recommendations.

The closest workshop to Franklin County will be on October the 30th at 6:30 at Gulf Coast State College in Panama City.

Workshops will also be held on today in Fort Walton beach and tomorrow in Havana.

The draft 2013 Water Supply Assessment is posted on-line on the Northwest Florida water Management District website.
