SRPC is a strong advocate for the protection of drinking water and is widely recognized as an important regional resource in providing communities with technical assistance and guidance needed to accomplish their source water protection goals.  SRPC provides related technical assistance to communities updating planning documents and processes, including stormwater regulations, often using GIS to provide detailed maps and technical analysis to support local decision-making for drinking water protection.

For updating stormwater regulations, SRPC staff wok with municipal representations to review the towns’ current stormwater management regulations and make necessary updates, which can relate to construction site and stormwater runoff control in addition to other concerns. These projects may require some external funding either through a grant or local budgets.
