Water problems can be both costly and inconvenient.
While the present and future availability of water is excellent for Putnam County, water is a precious resource that must be conserved and protected. We must all work together to maintain an adequate supply of good quality water. This fact sheet is intended to provide information to the public on water facts for Putnam County. For more information contact the Putnam County Extension Office. Your county Extension agent can help you determine which agency to call for your specific needs.
