WREN: Source Water Protection 101 Workshops March 20, 22

The Water Resources Education Network of the PA League of Women Voters will sponsor two Source Water Protection 101 Workshops on March 20 in Harrisburg and on March 22 in State College.

            The Source Water Protection 101 Course is designed to equip you with the tools and techniques you need to carry out your land use responsibilities in a manner that will ensure the long-term reliable supply of safe, affordable drinking water. 
            Source water protection offers the most cost effective way to prevent pollution of present and future drinking water sources and makes much more sense than remediating a contaminated water supply.
            This course will equip you with an understanding of:
-- The crucial role of water to every municipality’s future and how to protect it;
-- How you can make better land use decisions that avoid negative impacts to drinking water;
-- The role of planning commissions, comprehensive planning, and land use regulations so you’ll know how to use all of the tools available; and
-- How to develop a protection plan that will work for your municipality.
