BACKGROUND
Rowan County has been a participating financial member in the Yadkin PeeDee Water Management Group (YPDWMG) since 2017. This group consists of local governments and water utilities within the Yadkin River basin that have a shared interest in the longevity of the river. Past and current YPDWMG initiatives have included:
- Basin-wide Water Demand and Wastewater Return Forecast
- Baseline Hydrologic Conditions Analysis
- Coordinated Regional Drought Response Planning
- Water Supply Master Plan
The YPDMG group is attempting to incorporate as a non-profit and is requesting that members continue participation by signing an extension of the MOU thru June 30, 2026. The previous MOU expired June 30, 2021 (Rowan's signed version is attached).
RECOMMENDATION
- Authorize the County Manager to sign the YPDWMG MOU Extension Amendment and be attested by the Clerk
- Appropriate $5,000 for the current fiscal year and future years for Rowan County's participation in the YPDWMG
