Consider The
Source: A Pocket Guide to Protecting Your Drinking Water: Drinking Water
Pocket Guide #3
 "Consider
The Source: A Pocket Guide to Protecting Your Drinking Water" is
now available! The Guide is #3 in a series of pocket-sized outreach and
assistance publications from EPA’s Office of Ground Water and Drinking
Water (OGWDW) designed to heighten public awareness of the importance
of protecting source waters used for drinking water. Based on OGWDW's
multiple-barrier approach to drinking water assessment and protection,
the Guide includes a discussion of CWA- and SDWA-based regulatory and
voluntary resources, tools, and management measures available to States
and local governments and consumers, as well as accessible financing sources
for enhancing existing protection programs and future plans. The Guide
also includes discussions of integrating UIC program efforts with the
Source Water Assessment and Protection Programs, milestones for completion
of source water assessments and transitioning to protection, and available
Best Management Practices for source water protection areas. The booklet
can be downloaded below or ordered by calling the Safe Drinking Water
hotline at (800) 426-4791.
