A Special Effort for a Basic Need...Millions of people living in the Potomac River Basin are provided with safe drinking water every day. Meeting emerging challenges and ensuring a reliable supply for the future, however, requires vigilance and cooperation. By undertaking a collaborative approach, the unique Potomac Drinking Water Source Protection (DWSP) Partnership – almost two dozen water suppliers and government agencies – helps to ensure that people’s most basic need for clean, safe and abundant water is reliably met.
 The Partnership is a voluntary association of water suppliers and government agencies focused on protecting drinking water sources in the Potomac basin. This coalition of water utilities and management/regulatory agencies enables a comprehensive approach to protecting raw water supplies in the basin.
Through work groups and active discussion at meetings, the Partnership is identifying a strategy for carrying forward source water protection as recommended by source water assessments that were prepared throughout the Potomac basin. The Partnership now has nineteen member organizations. |
