Chester County commissioners approved the Chester County Water Resources Authority’s (CCWRA) Watersheds 2045, a plan that addresses the county’s water resource issues, such as stormwater and flooding, pollution mitigation and prevention, recreational access, and sustainable water supplies. Commissioners Chair Josh Maxwell said, “Ever since Chester County adopted the original Watersheds plan in 2002, it has guided us in protecting and restoring streams, lakes and groundwater in Chester County. The original 20-year investment has improved water quality in our streams, and expanded flood planning and preparedness efforts.” The planning process for Watersheds 2045 involved a thorough review of current conditions in the county’s watersheds, including land use, stream health, water availability, and projected future climate and population changes. The new Watersheds 2045 plan will also serve as the county’s Rivers Conservation Plan and the Act 167 Stormwater Management Plan, adopted by all Chester County municipalities.
