In 1990, the United States Environmental Protection Agency designated the Plymouth Carver Aquifer as a “sole source” of drinking water and ruled that it’s vulnerable to contamination and must be protected. Seven towns share this Aquifer – and our drinking water comes from this underground aquifer (this means town water, private wells, or a water supply at a development).
The forests and lands protect and filter the Aquifer and is threatened in many ways:
Our zoning and general bylaws govern land use. These laws were passed by town voters and are intended to protect the public health, safety and welfare. Come to an open forum later this month to hear how can we use these laws to protect our water and community – more information here.
When & Where: Wed. March 27, 2027 from 4 to 6 p.m. Plymouth Public Library, 132 South Street
