This paper provides an understanding of the challenges associated with managing consumer expectations related to shifts in climate (dry versus wet weather patterns). The efforts of two communities are reviewed to demonstrate adopted strategies to meet water supply projections over 50-year planning periods. Strategies of discussion include water conservation program promotions, the enforcement of water demand reduction policies per drought indicator monitoring, the optimization of local supplies, and participation in regional water systems to obtain additional capacity at an affordable rate. The thought process behind an integrated approach toward water supply management and water demand management are discussed, as are specific steps taken by the example communities to balance water conservation and drought contingency planning efforts with supplemental water supply capital improvements. Through successful implementation, it is anticipated that the example communities will simultaneously meet projected water demands, responsibly conserve water resources, and achieve sound utility financial management. Includes 9 references, tables, figures.
