The history of water conservation in Big Sky goes back decades, and has been supported since the beginning by the Big Sky Resort Area District (BSRAD) and both Gallatin and Madison Counties. The earliest collaboration was in 2018 when community stakeholders came together to create a plan for Big Sky’s water resources with a vision to be “a model mountain community by protecting and improving water resources, sustaining ecological health of the watersheds, and supporting a vibrant local economy.”
With recent benchmarks like the Big Sky Water and Sewer District’s Water Resource Recovery Facility coming online and the Yellowstone Club beginning to use reclaimed water for snowmaking, Big Sky’s efforts to lead the charge on protecting our water resources have kicked even further into high gear. Water Plan stakeholders have convened again recently to identify next steps, with the intention of adopting new tactics that shape the next phase of the Water Plan, so that Big Sky can continue to push the boundaries of water conservation in the West.
The critical next steps are creating public awareness, hearing input, and inviting feedback, and we are excited to share the Plan and our process with the public at our meeting on June 17th. Learn more about the Water Plan.
