Safeguarding the Source
The Pocono Source Water Protection Collaborative (PSWPC) is a regional network committed to protecting the drinking water sources that supply communities across Pike, Wayne, and Monroe Counties. Formed in 2013 through a League of Women Voters initiative, the Collaborative quickly grew into a hub where water operators, conservation districts, planners, and community organizations could coordinate protection efforts and share guidance on keeping drinking water clean.
Today, the Collaborative continues its mission: to raise awareness and empower local officials, water suppliers, homeowners, commercial well owners, emergency personnel, and residents to safeguard drinking water sources from contamination—protecting our region’s quality of life, economic vitality, and natural heritage.
The organizations below make up the Pocono Source Water Protection Collaborative and contribute to the public outreach, cross-county cooperation, emergency planning support, and shared technical knowledge, that ensures drinking water protection remains a proactive, community-driven effort across the Poconos.
