Learn what you can do to protect your drinking water in a series of three workshops around the state sponsored by the League of Women Voters Water Resources Education Network.

The free workshops are designed to help drinking water suppliers, municipal officials, watershed groups, planners, and residents find out how to safeguard their sources of drinking water. The workshops will be held--

· July 26 - Penn State Cooperative Extension, Bloomsburg, Columbia County

· July 27 - Lehighton Recreation Center, Lehighton, Carbon County

· July 28 - East Nottingham Township, Oxford, Chester County

Organizations that attend will receive a free Source Water Protection Toolkit developed by WREN.

Protection of existing sources of water is the most cost-effective way to protect public health and control treatment costs, and recommended as an integral part of the multiple barrier approach to protecting public health.

Registration is required for the workshop. Go to the workshop webpage to register online or call Julie Kollar, WREN, 267-468-0555 or send email to: juliek@voicenet.com .
