Source Water Protection: Exploring Options to Address Contaminated Sites and Minimize Risks to Public Drinking Water Supplies

This webinar will provide insights into how community water systems can assess risks associated with sites of concern identified in their Contaminant Source Inventory as part of a comprehensive Source Water Protection Program. We will discuss practical approaches to minimize contamination risks and protect your community’s drinking water supply.

+ Understanding how contaminants interact with high-capacity community water wells.
+ The often-complex interaction between those responsible for the investigation/remediation of sites of concern and community water suppliers.
+ The use, limitations, and practicality of groundwater monitoring as an early warning for future impacts to community water supplies.
+ Using your leverage to help ensure sites of concern are being addressed, including potential intervention strategies.
