Lyon County officials are inviting residents to share their input in shaping a Comprehensive
Water Resource Plan designed to guide how the county protects, manages, and invests in one of
its most valuable resources — water.
The plan aims to identify long-term strategies for sustainable water use, infrastructure
improvements, and resource protection across the county’s diverse communities, from
agricultural valleys to rapidly growing cities like Fernley.
Fernley residents, in particular, are encouraged to participate. As one of the fastest-growing areas
in northern Nevada, Fernley faces unique challenges related to groundwater management,
development pressure, and long-term water reliability. County staff say community feedback will
be essential to ensure the plan reflects local priorities and captures the realities of each region.
“Water is the foundation of every community, from farms and families to industry and growth,”
county officials said in a social media post. “We want to hear from residents about what matters
most when it comes to water access, quality, and infrastructure.”
The Lyon County Water Resource Plan Survey is open now through November 24, 2025, and
takes only a few minutes to complete. Responses will help shape policies and projects that
support reliable, safe, and resilient water systems for current and future residents.
