Water Quality Services

SWCD has the resources to provide technical assistance in water quality matters to homeowners, municipalities, and other County agencies.

 

Assistance to Homeowners - SWCD can help interpret results of water testing, provide homeowners with technical guidance on problems such as streambank erosion, drainage around the home, soils suitability, etc.

Technical Assistance to Towns and other Community Organizations - SWCD can provide assistance for broad or complex water quality issues. These include erosion and sediment control, wellhead protection, water quality testing, drainage and storm water management, streambank/roadbank stabilization and hydroseeding. We also provide assistance with grant writing.

Water Resources Information- SWCD has an extensive library of water-related text books, journals, and reports. Numerous brochures and other literature are provided to help Cortland County residents understand and protect their water resources.
