Water Quality Agenda
  • Adopt better pricing of water to encourage conservation
  • Adopt user fees to pay for source-water protection
  • Implement cost-based user fees to fund watershed protection
  • Encourage municipal stormwater utilities
  • Establish a statewide Watershed Management Trust Fund
  • Provide opportunities for industry and farmers to trade for water quality improvements similar to the current air trading program
  • Educate developers and facilitate adoption of conservation-minded water practices
  • Consider a market-based trading system for allocating water use
