Results Statement: Carroll County has a safe and adequate water supply both now and in the future.

In repeated needs assessments, people in community have raised concerns about the availability of an adequate water supply and the safety of our water for drinking and recreation. Naturally, concerns are more urgent in times of rapid growth and during droughts.

Currently, meetings of our Leadership Team for both Water and Growth - the Resource Conservation Coalition - are suspended while we conduct a major community needs assessment that will allow us to consider water issues in Carroll County. Afterwards, the members of the Leadership Team will help us to review our objectives, indicators, and strategies for this area. During the assessment period, we will maintain our connection with partners and key experts in water quality and supply and will continue to provide relevant information on this site.
