Funding allows push for safe drinking water

CHENANGO COUNTY – Chenango County health officials are pushing to educate and provide area residents with safe, quality drinking water, thanks to a stream of state funding through the NYS Drinking Water Program.

County leaders recently approved that $13,800 be applied to the county’s health department for the program. That money will allow the department to pay for man hours, equipment, day-to-day travel, conferences and training expenses, and any additional expenses for the Drinking Water Program.

The mission of the Drinking Water Program is to explore information about resources dedicated to providing safe, quality drinking water to New Yorkers. It outlines ways to reduce exposure to drinking water contaminants, and maintain and protect household wells and septic systems.

According to NYS DOH, nearly 95 percent of all New Yorkers get their water by way of public drinking water systems.
