Strategic Plan Guiding Principles
Near Term (2015-2020) Recognize no wastewater driven need to expand SBWR Achieve cost recovery as soon as practical Maintain reliable supply to support existing customers
Long-Term (2020-2035) Balance needs of wastewater management and water supply Costs to be borne proportionally by all who benefit Provide basis for identifying alternative governance framework
and funding strategies for non-potable and potable reuse
