The original five -year charter for the organization was set to expire this year, but on June <br />17, 2014, the Board approved extending the original membership agreement for an additional <br />five years. This multi - government entity has been working alongside the Triangle J Council of <br />Governments (TJCOG) to develop a regional water supply plan. The plan looks at meeting the <br />water needs of the individual entities, primarily through allocation of Jordan Lake water, through <br />the year 2060. Much work and collaboration amongst the various members of the Jordan Lake <br />Partnership has gone into the creation of the TRWSP, which benefits all members by <br />proactively planning for future water demand and appropriate supply. <br />The Executive Summary for the plan has been included as Attachment 1 for review. <br />
