Due to serious concerns about the protection of water resources in this region, the New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission has developed an informative source water protection resource for New England’s municipal officials and community volunteers. This source water protection resource, Water Today...Water Tomorrow?: Protecting Drinking Water Sources in Your Community: Tools for Municipal Officials, consists of a 52-page manual filled with action tips (with case examples). In addition, the manual is accompanied by a series of five fact sheets.
This guide focuses on five key areas of vulnerability identified in New England state Source Water Assessments: inadequate local regulations and ordinances, underground storage tanks, onsite sewage disposal systems, hazardous materials storage, and stormwater runoff. The document is designed to provide municipal officials with tools they can use to take action to protect drinking water sources in their communities.
