Case Studies of Local Source Water Protection Programs
EPA's Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water is compiling examples of good
local source water protection programs. As these "case studies" are collected
and reviewed for accuracy and completeness, they will be posted on this
site. They represent a variety of approaches to protecting sources of drinking
water supplies for a diverse group of communities that differ in size, geography,
economic and social characteristics, and type of source water used (surface
water, ground water, or both). What they have in common is a fairly comprehensive
approach to source water protection that reflects a strong commitment to
safeguarding the public's health. We offer them here so that other communities
interested in moving to source water protection can use them as references
in designing their own programs.
These case studies are undoubtedly an incomplete sample of the comprehensive
local source water protection programs in existence. If you know of other
communities with good programs, please contact Steve Ainsworth of OGWDW
