Drinking Water Source Protection Workshop Set For March 9 In Bethlehem
|
|
The Department of Environmental Protection invites water suppliers and local officials to learn how they can work together to better protect drinking water sources at a free workshop to be held on March 9 at Northampton Community College in Bethlehem.
The workshop will be held from 1 p.m. – 5 p.m. The PA Rural Water Association will provide 3.5 contact hours for certified operators.
Participants will explore how communities can assess and protect the areas surrounding water sources, facilitate better local decision making on land use and open space preservation, and involve the public in contamination prevention efforts. Information on DEP’s source water protection technical assistance program also will be presented.
The workshop is sponsored by DEP, the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania’s Water Resources Education Network, the Pennsylvania Rural Water Association, the Pennsylvania Section of American Water Works Association, Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences, Lehigh County Conservation District, Northampton County Conservation District, the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission, and the Wildlands Conservancy.
Those interested in attending must pre-register for the workshop online or by contacting Julie Kollar of the League of Women Voters’ Water Resources Education Network at 267-468-0555 or send email to: juliekwren@verizon.net.
