Bozeman depends on a safe and reliable water supply. We use water to fight fires, operate restaurants and businesses, clean our homes, run critical hospital functions, wash our hands, and other everyday necessities that support our community's health, safety, and quality of life.
This project will update the City of Bozeman's 2013 Integrated Water Resources Plan (IWRP), outlining alternatives to improve Bozeman's water supply resiliency and ensure an adequate supply for the future.
A lot has changed since our IWRP was created in 2013. Bozeman has made significant progress in improving our water resiliency by implementing policies and practices to manage our water supply. As a result of all this progress, it's time to take another look at the IWRP and evaluate our community's priorities, updated data, and alternatives for the future.
The goal for this engagement effort is to consult the community on Bozeman's water management priorities and gather input on alternatives developed throughout the planning process. In the coming months, we will populate this page with additional information and opportunities to share your input.
Stay Tuned and Provide Your Input!
This project page will be the place to go for updates on how to engage in person, virtually, or on your own time. You can subscribe to email updates specific to this project by clicking "Follow Project" on the right side of this page. We're glad you're here!
