In order to help protect the availability and quality of our drinking water resources, the New York Rural Water Association (a private, non-profit organization) is working with the Towns of Berkshire and Richford on source water protection planning. New York Rural Water Association is a federally-funded organization that provides free technical assistance to rural and small communities across New York.  An initial step in the development of source water protection plan(s) here is to collect information on groundwater resources and the nature of water supply issues in northern Tioga County. 

Your help in our effort to protect the drinking water of Berkshire and Richford would be greatly appreciated. Our hope is that you can spend a few minutes and complete the following water well survey. Responses to this survey will be confidentially sent to the New York Rural Water Association.  Thank you very much for your assistance!
