Triangle Water Supply Partnership

The importance of water supply planning and development on a regional basis has taken on a greater urgency as the Triangle region and the entire Southeastern United States have experienced two historically severe droughts since 2001.  Joint planning and development of sustainable water supply is critical to the future of the region and state.
​
The Triangle Water Supply Partnership (referred to as TWP) was formed in 2018 by 13 jurisdictions and water systems in the Triangle who wished to continue and build upon the valuable water supply planning work and collaborative efforts begun by the Jordan Lake Partnership (JLP). 

Capstone projects of the JLP include and award winning Regional Water Supply Plan as well as a Interconnection Model. 

Benefits of collaborative efforts include: 

• Improved cooperation between local water utilities and ease of regulatory oversight;
• Reduced unit costs for projects through economies of scale;
• Increased flexibility and reliability of local water supplies, especially during droughts and other dynamic events;
• Enhanced ability to comply with federal and state drinking water standards;
• Sustainable use of regional drinking water resources
