Source Water Protection is the practice of monitoring and assessing the quality of our water resources, and implementing programs that reduce pollutants and chemical contaminants which could potentially negatively impact these resources. Protecting water resources from contaminants also eliminates the need for supplementary treatment procedures, and can delay the cost of new infrastructure and related increases in water rates.

Municipal water utilities are required to monitor for more than 100 contaminants and comply with almost 90 water quality and safety regulations. Because of these regulations, Perry water customers can confidently use our water supply without fear of waterborne diseases such as cholera and dysentery that strike millions annually in underdeveloped countries.
