The topic was the implementation of the 2023 Water Planning Security Act. We heard about the ISC’s and OSE’s big picture plans for regional planning and rulemaking, with emphasis on how the ISC’s open houses, online feedback, and community conversations are providing the groundwork for implementation. The presentation was followed by an open discussion and a prototype community conversation.
