In 1993, Chemung County realized a need to formulate a strategy to protect and improve water quality. The Chemung County Water Quality Strategy Committee was formed to bring local, county, state, and federal organizations together to address nonpoint pollution problems. The committee developed a strategy for protecting and improving water quality in the county. The Chemung County Water Quality Strategy has been updated periodically, most recently in 2024.
The Water Quality Strategy Committee is available to municipalities to assist with improving water quality. Upon request, the committee will review projects, meet with officials and make recommendations. This service is offered to all agencies in Chemung County.
Members of the Water Quality Strategy Committee monitor surface waters across Chemung County for the Water Quality Stream Sampling Program.
