Congratulations! DES to recognize WWAC, Town of Meredith, and Jen Palmiotto for Waukewan Watershed Management Plan

Congratulations! DES's Drinking Water Source Protection Program is awarding its first Source Water Protection Award to the Waukewan Watershed Advisory Committee, the Town of Meredith, and Jennifer Palmiotto for their work on the watershed management plan. A public announcement will come in the next few weeks, and the award will be presented later this fall at an event to be determined.

The recipients were chosen because the Waukewan plan is unequalled among water supply source protection plans in New Hampshire in terms of its thoroughness, technical quality, and the participatory process by which it was developed. The document is a testament to the dedication and hard work of the participants, and serves as a model of what can be accomplished when a forward-thinking water supplier invests the time to work with town officials and other important stakeholders, with the help of a highly competent consultant committed to a participatory approach
to source water protection. It also helps that you're clearly committed to implementing the plan.

I take my hat off to you, and I look forward to formally presenting the award with appropriate hoopla!
