Another First!

Triple Divide Watershed Coalition is comprised of all public water systems in Potter County – and it’s another “first” for Potter County. Its formation was supported by the Potter County Commissioners, Potter County Education Council, Potter County Planning Department, and other partners to assure safe drinking water for the 8,500 Potter County residents served by nine public water suppliers. When the coalition was chosen for the prestigious Pennsylvania Governor’s Award for Local Government Excellence, the presenter said. “A tradition of careful stewardship is nothing new to Potter County. Potter is the first and only county in Pennsylvania to have a 100-percent participation rate with source water protection plans in place for all of its public water systems.”
