Add Source Water Info To Your Website!
These days, when people have a question they often search the internet before doing anything else. A great way to make information available for your residents is by posting it on your City, Homeowner’s Association, or System website. If you decide to create a Source Water Protection Plan, you can post it on your website, along with helpful brochures and a calendar of community drinking water news and events.
Your Public Works website is a great place to add source water protection information, or a link to your Source Water page.
There is a new resource for rural systems to build a website! Affordable, simple, and fast! All the feedback from this new service has been awesome. If you don’t have a website yet, explore how Rural Water Impact can help you!
