Case Studies for Pennsylvania

Title: Pennsylvania: Telford

Subtitle: Development of Source Water Protection Options for Individual Towns

Case Study Type: Protection

Description: The Borough of Telford, Pennsylvania, population 5,500, is located in Montgomery County, northwest of Philadelphia. Telford has coordinated its efforts with several adjacent watershed communities in both Bucks and Montgomery counties. On January 24, 1996, the TBA organized its initial meeting regarding watershed protection, partly in response to incidences of TCE pollution in some of its wells. Representatives from five other towns within the Telford watershed were invited in order to provide a comprehensive, resource- driven approach to Telford's water protection program. In each of these municipalities, there were potential sources of contamination to one or more of Telford's wells.
