March 9-15, 2025 is National Groundwater Awareness Week.
This is an annual observance, established in 1999, to highlight the responsible development, management, and use of groundwater. This event is also a platform to encourage yearly water well testing and well maintenance, and the promotion of policies impacting groundwater quality and supply. The BNTGMC is actively working with Nockamixon, Bridgeton, and Tinicum Townships to protect our groundwater resources. Please visit the website:
