Source Water
Protection Success Stories in NC
Examples of Local Protection Efforts
The Public Water Supply Section
of NC DENR has compiled a collection of Drinking Water Source Protection
Stories. We have entitled these narratives "Success Stories"
because of their dedication to and interest in ensuring safe drinking water
for local communities. The Success Stories vary in geographic location from
the mountains to the Coastal Plains, in size from rural communities to
urban centers, and in cost from thousands of city dollars to millions of
dollars in state grant money. Through sharing these initiatives, we hope to
encourage and direct other NC communities to take steps to protect their
own drinking water. As this project illustrates, the methods for protection
are many and where there is a will, there is a way.
