Local Source Water Protection Projects Funded
Date: April 20, 2022
On The Local Source Water Protection Grant Program will provide just over $250,000 this year to support thirteen source protection projects. The projects include engineering stormwater practices to reduce erosion and sediment discharge into Lake Massabesic, purchasing data sondes to monitor sodium chloride in groundwater in Dover, and installing security fencing and gates at strategic locations around several public water supplies to reduce known vulnerabilities. These projects will further protect the quality, availability and security of groundwater sources, reservoirs and related public water system infrastructure. Application requests far exceeded the available funding this year.
