Jordan Lake Water Supply Program
The Triangle region is growing. To support this growth, the WIP and City of Durham aims to secure a long-term water supply for the area. The plan involves withdrawing and treating water from Jordan Lake. That water would then be delivered to our communities’ water systems.

About the Program
Jordan Lake is a reservoir and vital regional resource west of Raleigh and south of Durham in Chatham County. It is a popular place for recreation, supplies water to surrounding communities, controls flooding and water quality, and helps conserve fish and wildlife habitats.
Program Details
This program will provide the growing communities of the City of Durham and Western Intake Partnership with a reliable source of clean drinking water, while protecting the reservoir's other uses. Use the tabs below to explore and learn more about the Jordan Lake Water Supply Program.
