NCSWPA

The North Central Source Water Protection Alliance serves to protect the regions drinking water sources by providing a forum for interested citizens and water professionals to network, promoting cooperation among interested parties, encouraging local planning and inter-municipal coordination efforts, and educating the public about source water protection.

The North Central Source Water Protection Alliance (NCWSPA) brings together community members and municipal partners into one organization to share knowledge and ideas, discuss current and future challenges, and promote the efficient and effective use of resources to support the protection of our water resources. The Alliance was formed in June of 2010 to promote the development and updating of source water protection plans by the municipalities within our watershed, and has been working with Lycoming County, the Susquehanna River Basin Committee (SRBC), PENNDOT, PA DEP, and local water systems and volunteers on various projects over the past four years. The Alliance was conceived with the thought that there are many challenges to be addressed, and many hands make light work. As of 2014 there are over 30 contributing members in the NCSWPA including local, state, and federal government agencies, private citizens, and public water suppliers located in Lycoming and Sullivan Counties.
