• If applicable, fulfill wastewater and stormwater management requirements <br />Communities/Public Water Suppliers <br />Role <br />The Metropolitan Council recognizes that water supply roles and responsibilities vary across the <br />region. Some communities are fully served by public water supply systems and others have none. <br />However, all communities can plan for sustainable water supply. <br />The 2014 AWWA State of the Water Industry Report noted that communities with public water <br />supplies are faced with two major challenges: first, conducting today's business operation and <br />maintenance, and second, thoroughly planning for tomorrow's business operation and maintenance - <br />including adapting to changing water demand. <br />Communities without public water supplies also have an important role to play, encouraging the use <br />of environmentally sensitive development techniques and promoting best management practices for <br />agricultural activities in order to protect the integrity of the region's water supply and the quality and <br />quantity of surface and groundwater resource. <br />Figure 31.
