Creating connections across the basin
Last week, water utilities from small communities across western Maryland and beyond, joined representatives from the Potomac River Basin Drinking Water Source Protection Partnership, the Maryland Department of the Environment, and ICPRB, to discuss source water protection issues unique to small water systems. They received presentations on regulatory requirements and funding resources for PFAS, had a discussion on minimizing impacts when there is a spill in the river, and learned about resources during a drought. They also enjoyed a tour of the City of Hagerstown water treatment plant.
This was the third such event supported by the members of the Potomac River Basin Drinking Water Source Protection Partnership, a coalition of water suppliers and government agencies focused on protecting sources of drinking water in the Potomac River basin.
We would like to thank the speakers for sharing their knowledge, the attendees for joining us, EPA Region 3 for planning assistance, and the City of Hagerstown for hosting us at the water treatment plant. Click here to see more photos of the event >>>
