Public Meetings
Public participation is integral to the development of the 2025 OCWP update to help determine policy issues and data gaps. Several rounds of regional public meetings are being held across the state with local officials, water utility suppliers, regulated industry, commercial agricultural producers, economic development entities, and engaged citizens. Meetings are focused on how the OCWP can support efforts to address local water challenges.
