EPA Region 3 awarded a 2004 Pennsylvania source water protection award to the Shrewsbury Municipal Water Company at a township meeting on September 8.

Shrewsbury was selected for its wellhead protection activities which include a land use ordinance, a local hazardous waste survey, an abandon well closure program and educational outreach efforts. The source water protection awards were created by EPA to recognize those individuals in the community who have consistently demonstrated their commitment, leadership, and innovation in drinking water protection.
