Description
In 2003-04 all public water suppliers received a Source Water Assessment Program Report (SWAP) from PA DEP. The purpose of these Reports is to encourage water suppliers to develop a voluntary local Source Water/Wellhead Protection Program. A critical element of that program is to develop and implement a Management Plan for the identified risks to the water sources. This course will enable attendees to understand the SWAP Report for their water system sources and develop/implement an effective local Management Program to minimize risks to the water sources.
