The Teton County Board of County Commissioners approved a resolution Tuesday to establish a Water Quality Advisory Board (WQAB) and Water Quality Technical Working Group to help strategize and implement projects outlined in the recently created Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP). Water Resources Coordinator Chris Peltz presented the plan to the Commissioners at the Aug. 26 meeting and brought back an updated plan on Sept. 3. The creation of the Advisory Board will support the implementation of WQMP and help Public Works and the Commissioners conceptualize upcoming projects and policies.
