David Kovach, P.G., DRBC Project Review Manager, participated in Pennsylvania State Senator Judy Schwank's (D-11) Home Water Workshop, held at Penn State University Berks Campus on November 16, 2017.
The workshop was geared for local residents who rely on groundwater via a well, spring, or cistern for their water supply, providing information and tips on proper well construction and maintenance, groundwater protection, well testing, and treatment options.
While the DRBC does not regulate home water wells, Mr. Kovach gave an overview of the commission and our role in managing large groundwater withdrawals, as well as discussed groundwater levels in Berks County.
In addition to DRBC, the workshop was presented by the Penn State Extension and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.
Participants were also able to bring a sample of their drinking water for basic water testing during the workshop.
