Maine Water Resources Planning Committee

The Maine Water Resources Planning Committee (WRPC) was established by the 123rd Legislature, 1st Session in May 2007. This step came after many years of referenda on water issues, a 1½ -year-long stakeholder process to review regulations governing groundwater withdrawals, and several controversial groundwater bills in the 1st Session. The establishment and responsibilities of this Committee were part of comprehensive legislative actions to address specific water issues in Maine negotiated with members of the Legislature’s Natural Resources Committee and a stakeholder group. The overarching charge to the WRPC is to plan for sustainable use of water resources.

The WRPC draws its membership from state agency groundwater professionals, water utilities, agricultural water users, the bottled water industry, other commercial water users, private well drillers, and a water advocacy organization.
