Water Quality in Benton County

Water is a key element of any community and ecosystem. Benton County is extremely committed to protecting water quality through various initiatives designed to ensure we all can thrive in a healthy environment with a clean and plentiful water supply.

A Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) plan was developed by Benton County to improve water quality as it returns to the land and a Water Project designed to track the abundance and quality of water available in Benton County for drinking, irrigation and other vital community needs are just a couple of the initiatives Benton County has undertaken to protect water quality for its communities and ecosystems.

Following are the water quality projects currently being carried out by Benton County staff members:

• Water Quality Protection (TMDL)
• Stormwater Management (NPDES)
• Benton County Water Project
• Environmental Health Public and Private Water Systems
