Join Us for Source Water Protection Week! – Sept. 28 through Oct. 4, 2025

• September 28, 2025 | Category: Water Resources, Your Water

It’s Source Water Protection Week, September 28th through October 4th, 2025. Throughout the week, join us as we raise awareness about the importance of caring for our high-quality drinking water sources.

Keeping rivers and lakes free from pollution makes it easier and less expensive to keep water safe and healthy. In this way, protecting our water sources is an important first step in fulfilling our mission to safeguard public health by providing a reliable, high-quality water supply at the best value. 

Our source water protection activities include outreach and education through many in-person and virtual events, spill prevention and response planning, implementation of our Source Water Protection Plan, land management/restoration through implementation of our Forest Management Plan, planning and collaboration with many regional partners, and improved water quality monitoring. But cooperation from the many land and business owners, and recreational users within the watersheds that our drinking water sources come from is key as well. We can all work together to maintain clean water for the humans, plants, and animals that call these areas home.
