2021 Groundwater Guardian Presentation to City Council
Springfield is celebrating its twenty-fifth consecutive year as a Groundwater Guardian community.
Meghan Murphy, Environmental Services Analyst from the City of Springfield, and Amy Chinitz, SUB's
Drinking Water Source Protection Coordinator, will represent the Groundwater Guardian team and
announce the upcoming Groundwater Awareness Week.
The Groundwater Guardian team is made up of 14 members who represent different sectors of our
community and come together with the joint purpose of championing the protection of Springfield's
groundwater. Examples of past Groundwater Guardian projects include design and installation of
drinking water protection signs, the student well -water testing lab and field studies, development and
distribution of a septic system maintenance brochure, participation in Lane County household hazardous
waste round -ups, and education about stormwater management.
The City Council's continued support of the Springfield Groundwater Guardian volunteer team helps fill
a vital niche in continuing to protect the community's drinking water.
