Drinking Water

What We Do:

Access to safe and clean drinking water is a fundamental necessity for every community. Our Drinking Water Program is designed to support rural Villages in addressing challenges related to water quality, aging infrastructure, and climate change impacts. We work closely with local operators and leaders to identify community-specific needs, provide technical training, and develop long-term solutions that prioritize public health and environmental sustainability.

Our team is here to help Villages improve and maintain their water systems, whether that means troubleshooting existing problems, creating water quality improvement plans, or assisting with grant applications to fund upgrades. We also provide capacity-building workshops to ensure community members have the knowledge and tools they need to manage their drinking water systems independently.

If your Village is experiencing issues with drinking water or needs support navigating technical or financial hurdles, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We are here to listen, provide guidance, and work together toward sustainable solutions that benefit the Watershed for generations to come.

If you are concerned about the quality of your village's drinking water, please reach out!
