Source Water Protection through Collaborative Efforts
April 26, 2012
A number of water systems attended an event – Source Water Protection through Collaborative Efforts – on April 26, 2012, to learn about source water protection efforts and opportunities in the Potomac River basin.
The meeting brought together systems from West Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, along with some current Partnership members to discuss common source water concerns and ways in which the Partnership may be able to support each system’s efforts. Topics included:
- Regional emergency response initiatives,
- Cryptosporidium,
- water-quality information and resources, and
- shared water-quality concerns.
Many thanks to Shepherd University and West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources for providing the venue and refreshments for the meeting!
