Presentation during the Annual Workshop by Lancaster County Emergency Management Agency
Eastern Lancaster County Source Water Collaborative
ELANCO Source Water Collaborative (SWC) was founded in 2012. The following year it was selected to participate in the National Source Water Collaborative’s Pilot Program. The ELANCO SWC is a diverse coalition of water suppliers, local government, state and federal agencies, and private and non-profit organizations. The collaborative and its partners are working to engage the ELANCO region in source water protection through targeted education and outreach. With the support of the EPA-funded technical assistance and dedicated local champions, the Collaborative hosts an annual educational Drinking Water Day event for 5th and 6th graders. We have also developed an Annual Source Water Protection Workshop for Public Water Supplies and agricultural workshops for Lancaster farmers.
