Source Water Protection

What is Source Water Protection?

The goal of source water protection is preventing contaminants from entering waterways that serve as our drinking water sources. Protecting our source water from pollutants not only protects our drinking water supplies, but it also makes economic sense, as it can be extremely costly to remove pollutants from drinking water sources through complex treatments. Protecting our source water also helps protect the natural environment by providing a healthy habitat for countless species.

The source water for Greenville Water Authority customers is from the Shenango River. To further strengthen our source water protection efforts, GWA has volunteered to participate in the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection’s Source Water Protection Program.
