Local Water Management (LWM)
Comprehensive Local Management is the adoption and implementation of local water management plans that are based on local priorities. As a general-purpose unit of government, counties with their planning and land-use authorities, are uniquely positioned to link many land-use decisions with local goals for surface and groundwater protection and management.
Counties are responsible for water management. Approximately one-third have delegated the program to Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs).
Polk County Board of Commissioners delegated East Polk and West Polk SWCDs the responsibility of administering and implementing the Comprehensive Local Water Management Program.
Polk County's revised Comprehensive Local Plan was updated and approved by the Board of Soil and Water Resources, May 23, 2012 and will stay in effect till May 23, 2022.
