The Lancaster County Clean Water Consortium is a resource organization that supports local stakeholders responsible for meeting stringent state and federal pollution-reduction standards. Its mission is to develop a proactive, efficient and cohesive countywide strategy to restore the waterways of Lancaster County, which will, in turn, enhance compliance with federal and state regulations related to the cleanup of the Chesapeake Bay.
