We are pleased to announce that Ossining has been chosen as part of the New York State Departments of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and Health (DOH) new initiative to assist municipalities with assessing and supporting drinking water source protection programs. As part of the Drinking Water Source Protection Program (DWSP2), up to 40 volunteer communities will work with technical assistance partners to develop programs that proactively protect public drinking water supplies.
The State sought volunteer communities to work with a technical assistance provider, at no cost to the participating communities, to help develop and initiate implementation of each community's unique drinking water source protection programs. Volunteer communities are being matched with technical assistance providers, including State-selected environmental consultants, Regional Planning Boards, the New York Rural Water Association, and DEC and DOH DWSP2 staff.
