The Brodhead Watershed Association received a timely donation this month supporting its Adopt-a-Stream Site Program and 25th Annual Dinner Celebration on October 2.
A donation from PPL Utilities in the amount of $3,000 will allow the BWA to step up vigilance in monitoring local streams, and protecting drinking water, and will contribute to a lively celebration at this year’s 25th Annual Dinner.
The BWA, a nonprofit environmental organization, formed in 1989 as a group of individuals and business owners dedicated to ensuring clean water in Monroe County.
For the past twenty five years, BWA’s Volunteer Streamwatchers have been testing water quality in the Brodhead, Cherry, Marshalls, McMichael, Paradise and Pocono creeks and their tributaries. PPL Utilities recognizes this important work spanning a quarter century, and a donation was made possible by Pocono Regional Affairs Director Paul Canevari.
“We are pleased to support the BWA and its volunteers to continue protecting the water we all drink and depend on,” said Canevari at a check presentation event this past Monday.
“We thank PPL Electric Utilities and Paul for his ongoing support of our essential work and look forward to acknowledging PPL Utilities as River Patron at our 25th Annual Dinner Celebration,” said BWA President John Smith.
Anyone interested in assisting the BWA protect the community’s water resources is invited to attend the Annual Dinner Celebration which will highlight the BWA’s activities over the past twenty five years.
The event will take place on October 2 at the Chateau at Camelback in Tannersville, Monroe County. Register at the Brodhead Watershed Association website or call the BWA office at 570-839-1120.
