Water Protection Plan Development Guide for Public Water Systems (doc)
Developed by SC DHEC in cooperation with South Carolina Rural Water Association
(SCRWA), this document is intended to guide the development and implementation
of Source Water Protection Plans (SWPPs) for individual public water systems
(PWS) in the State of South Carolina.
Strategies for
Effective Public Involvement in
Drinking Water Source Assessment and Protection (website)
The League of Women Voters developed this online guide to help state agencies, water systems, local governments and others involved in the planning and implementation of source water assessments to plan and implement effective public involvement programs.
Source Water Protection: A Guidebook for Local Governments (pdf)
This guidebook, produced by the National Association of Counties, the
Conference of Southern County Associations, and the Georgia Water Management
Campaign, provides guidance to local officials interested in protecting their
water sources. Contents Include:
·
Local
Government Source Water Protection Checklist - a tool for local officials to
assess needs, develop a protection program, and evaluate progress.
·
The Source
Water Protection Toolbox: Land Use Tools (e.g. zoning and subdivision
requirements)
·
Stakeholder
Involvement
·
Wet Weather
Runoff Tools (e.g. erosion and sedimentation ordinances)
·
Public
Health Tools (e.g. contaminant-specific health regulations)
·
Nonregulatory
tools (e.g. pollution prevention, land acquisition, and public education)
·
Funding
Tools (e.g. federal, state and local funding tools)
·

Steps in
Conducting a Source Water Assessment
SWP
Workshop Guide (pdf)
A Groundwater Foundation Association workshop guide that is designed to provide
local leaders and community members with tools to educate and motivate other
community members to get involved in the source water assessment and protection
process.
Source
Water Protection: Plain and Simple (pdf)
This introductory document describes the basic components of a State Source
Water Assessment Program (SWAP), as mandated by the Safe Drinking Water Act
(SDWA) of 1996. This information is useful for local water utilities, state
water quality departments and for citizens trying to gain a general
understanding of SWAPs.
Tool Kit:
International City/County
Management Association, through a grant from the U. S. Environmental Protection
Agency, has developed a source water awareness tool kit that can be used to
help raise community awareness about drinking water protection issues. Items
from the tool kit include:
Media
Campaign Guidelines (pdf)
A guide to assist small rural communities with developing a media campaign
strategy that will increase the awareness of drinking water source protection
within their community.
Informational
Flyer (pdf)
These sample flyers can be distributed at community gatherings, public
meetings, and at information centers like libraries and supermarkets all over
the community.
Home
Owner/Farmer Checklist (pdf)
This fact sheet can be used at community gatherings, public meetings, and as a
source of information to be placed in libraries and supermarkets around the
community.
Q&A
Fact Sheet (pdf)
This fact sheet can be used as utility bill stuffers to get the word out in the
community.
Sample
Questionnaire (pdf)
This questionnaire provides a list of questions that can be presented to
citizens prior to launching a media campaign. This may help determine a
community's knowledge and awareness about the sources of their drinking water.
Camera-Ready
Logo (tif)
An electronic campaign logo is provided in this media kit. The logo is a
full-color, full size, printable image. The source water awareness logo can be
used on newsletters, brochures, or stationary for a user's campaign.
Sample
Poster (pdf)
This two-color sample poster design can be blown up to any desired size and distributed.
It may be displayed in the local community center, the windows of supermarkets
or retail stores, shopping malls, public libraries, health clubs, schools,
utility customer service centers, or any other place where many people will see
it.
Sample
Radio PSA (pdf)
The radio public service announcement (PSA) may be copied and mailed or faxed
(with a copy of the news release) to local radio stations in the community. Appropriate
follow-up will assure that the PSA will get maximum airtime.
Sample
News Release (pdf)
This sample press release provides a way to inform local media about the
drinking water awareness campaign. The bracketed areas of the news release can
be filled with information specific to a user's company/organization/utility
and then mailed or faxed to local newspapers, radio stations, and television
stations. Users may also use the news release as a template for providing the
media with specific information about local activities being that increase
drinking water awareness.
Video:
An Introduction to Source
Water Protection (mov)
A SC DHEC 10-minute video that covers concepts such as the water cycle, surface
water, groundwater, point source pollution, nonpoint source pollution (runoff),
and the fundamental elements of source water protection.
Model Ordinances & Successful
Source Water Protection Programs:
Model Ordinances to Protect Local Resources (website)
An EPA
Website highlighting SWP ordinances. The ordinances can help safeguard
community health and reduce the risk of contamination of water supplies. These
SWP ordinances are divided into two separate categories: a source water
(groundwater) protection category and a surface water (reservoir) protection
category.
Model Ordinances
(website)
This site
from the Stormwater Manager's Resource Center provides examples of both
real-world and model ordinances that can be used to guide future growth while
safeguarding local natural resources.

the Community Level (website)

community SWP Programs
Resource

This list contains helpful organizations, publications, and websites that can
provide information on protecting sources of a community's drinking water and
other drinking water issues.
