Protecting and Preserving the Private Well Option: A Success Story

Presented on Wednesday, December 4, 2013

Regulating water supply is often perceived as one of the most profitable sources for local and state government revenues. Access to such water supplies usually involves some type of limitations on private wells, thus placing extreme economic and public relations burdens on water well contractors, pump installers, and industry suppliers. This workshop will share a case study on how the state association garnered grassroots support to successfully stop a mandate to convert all wells to community water supply and ban the construction of new wells. You will learn how it mobilized its members and public support to stop this government mandate and promote the economic benefit of individual water supply wells.
