closeThe Georgia Environmental Protection Division is accepting nominations of people to serve on regional water councils, which will play a key role in the state water planning process.
Each council will consist of 25 members and three alternates and is supposed to broadly represent agriculture, forestry, industry, local government, water utilities, tourism, recreation and the environment, among other interests. The council members will be appointed by the governor, lieutenant governor and Georgia's speaker of the House.
A water council will represent each of the water planning regions, which are roughly based on river basins. The shape of the regions was finalized recently. Five counties, including Laurens in Middle Georgia, petitioned to be moved from one region to another and were approved. Laurens was shifted from the Altamaha region to the Upper Oconee.
The official nomination form and map of the water planning regions can be found at www.georgiawaterplanning.org.
