Northern Nevada Water Planning Commission | August 5, 2026

The Northern Nevada Water Planning Commission held a meeting on August 5, 2026, focusing primarily on regional water resource planning and management. Key procurement-related discussions included the review and acceptance of draft chapters of the 2026-2045 Regional Water Management Plan, with updates on policy revisions, water resource baselines, and public review schedules. The commission also reviewed the Truckee Meadows Regional Planning Agency's 2026-2046 population consensus forecast and confirmed that sustainable water resources identified in the 2021-2040 comprehensive regional water management plan can support projected growth. Additionally, the commission received a fiscal year 2026 program manager's report highlighting progress on regional water projects, including the wastewater regionalization feasibility study and water conservation programs, supported by the regional water management fund. Motions were passed to adopt a resolution of appreciation for retiring member John Flansberg and to approve the updated schedule for the water management plan's public review and adoption process.
