In 2017, Potter County partnered with U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Potter County Conservation District, Potter County Planning and the Pa. Dept. of Environmental Protection (DEP), to sample 47 randomly selected drinking water wells to assess the ground water across the entire county. This opportunity came as Potter County received Pa. Dept. of Community and Economic Development (DCED) Grant funds which allowed us to take advantage of an opportunity to understand what is native to our water sources and to assess the impacts land use practices have had on our ground water. The link below can provide more details to the project and its results as they are available.
