3.  Partnership Development

Business Partnership Program

Our storm sampling locations tie closely into a Business Partnership program that the CWD is implementing in order to educate local businesses throughout the watershed on water quality issues and how their business might relate to those issues. Two tributaries, Industrial Brook and WA-17, drain a sub watershed where many of these businesses are located. Data collected from analyzing water quality at these sites will be an important tool in the partnership program, and can be used to illustrate how industry can affect water quality. These data will thereby increase local business’ awareness with the ultimate goal of receiving their long-term cooperation in improving the stormwater quality of this sub-basin.
