The Norris Lake Protection Alliance invites you to bring your friends and family for an interesting 45-minute presentation specifically on Union County Water Quality on September 13 at 5:30 p.m. at the Sharps Chapel Senior Center.
Norris Lake plays a major role in the lives of Union County residents. Many of us get our water from Norris Lake through Hallsdale Powell. Others get their water from the groundwater through wells. We all rely on the surrounding watershed for the source of this water. Do you have questions about the quality of the water?
You will enjoy this informative presentation where you will learn what defines our watershed, what makes Union County unique and the special responsibility we have to preserve the health of our water given that we are at the headwaters of the TVA dam system. Others downstream are not as lucky as we are. Come find out why. Bring your water quality questions. Get your answers from the experts on Union County water quality.
Mark your calendar and plan to attend this free presentation specifically addressing Union County Water Quality. Get your questions answered about:
The health of Norris Lake’s water
The effects of surface water on our drinking water quality
Sources of water pollution
The major contaminants of U.S. groundwater
