Virginia's Region 2000 Local Government Council, in conjunction with its member jurisdictions, will hold its third Water Supply Planning meeting on Thursday, July 31, 4 - 6 pm at the Lynchburg Public Library Community Meeting Room, 2315 Memorial Avenue, Lynchburg.

At this meeting, current planning efforts will be reviewed, including discussion of current water supplies and demand, projected water demand over a 50-year planning horizon, and potential alternatives for serving future needs.

The planning group is made up of 12 local governments and four service authorities. Participating jurisdictions include the cities of Bedford and Lynchburg, the counties of Amherst, Appomattox, Bedford, Campbell, and Nelson, and the towns of Altavista, Amherst, Appomattox, Brookneal and Pamplin. The Amherst County Service Authority, Campbell County Utilities and Service Authority, Bedford County Public Service Authority, and Nelson County Public Service Authority also participate.
