Water Resources: Local Government Roles and Responsibilities

Date: Thursday, December 14, 2023

Description:

Join us for a presentation that will expose North Carolina municipal and county administrators to local government water resources management. Local government environmental services, such as water and sewer, are costly to provide and must be well-managed to ensure long-term sustainability. During this session, attendees were introduced to local government enterprises, emerging issues in the drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater space, and opportunities to overcome those issues. The goal of this session was to help local government administrators, who may not work with water day-to-day, understand the importance
