Cary is committed to proactive, comprehensive planning to guide the future of our community, including effective water resources management. 

Wastewater Master Plan Update 

The last Town of Cary Water Master Plan Update was prepared in 2013, with an update for Chatham County in 2015. Since that time, the Town has completed the following guidance documents: 

• The Cary Community Plan provided a framework for structuring future growth and redevelopment (2017). 
• The Long Range Water Resources Plan update provided a strategic planning roadmap to meet the Town’s water resource needs through development of a Water Resources Portfolio, including reclaimed water (2018). 

 In 2021, the Town completed an expedited basin planning study for the Walnut Creek Pump Station Basin.

The 2025 Wastewater Master Plan Update effort will kick off in Spring 2024 and is anticipated to be completed in 2025. This update will reflect revised assumptions for future wastewater flows, adjusted from the LRWRP forecast by Town staff to apply specific insights for future development and to incorporate updates to the Chatham County Basin Planning as part of a comprehensive master plan.
