Source Water Protection Program - Colorado Rural Water Association "Source Water Protection was founded on the concept that informed citizens, equipped with fundamental knowledge about their drinking water source and threats to it, will be the most effective advocates for protecting this valuable resource." What is Source Water Protection?
The 1996 Amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act directed that each state develop a Source Water and Assessment Protection (SWAP) program. Colorado's Source Water Assessment and Protection (SWAP) program is designed to provide the public consumer with information about their drinking water, as well as provide the community a way to get involved in protecting the quality of their drinking water.
In the first phase of the SWAP program, Colorado conducted an assessment of all its public water supplies, which provided an understanding of where each public water system's source water comes from, what contaminant sources potentially threaten the water source(s) and how susceptible each water source is to potential contamination.
Now in the second phase of Colorado's SWAP program, public water systems are encouraged to develop and implement a Source Water Protection Plan which incorporates community-based involvement and preventive management strategies to ensure that all public drinking water resources are kept safe from future contamination.
The state of Colorado has provided the opportunity for public water systems to receive up to $5,000 to support the development and implementation of a source water protection plan. The $5,000 Development and Implementation Grant is a one to one matching grant. This means that grant recipients have to match every dollar of the $5,000 grant with either money or in-kind time.
The in-kind time option allows a public water system to implement a source water protection plan with little or no out of pocket expenses. Additionally, the in-kind time match promotes community awareness through increased stakeholder participation. Please contact us for more information about the Development and Implementation Grant.
