Healthy Lawn Happy Summer Toolkit

Описание: MassDEP is pleased to introduce a ready-to-use toolkit titled “Healthy Lawn, Happy Summer”, that will provide water suppliers with educational materials customized to household water use with the goal of reducing outdoor water use by your largest residential users. To learn more and to download toolkit visit: https://www.mass.gov/service-details/... and see attached flyer.

Implementation of the Healthy Lawn, Happy Summer toolkit can help meet Water Management Act (WMA) Permit requirements for Minimization Planning or be a component of a compliance plan for those PWSs not currently achieving the residential gallons per capita day performance standard.
The toolkit is founded on Massachusetts specific research, including a multi-year pilot project. Based on the success of the pilot, this toolkit was developed to help water suppliers implement the Healthy Lawn, Happy Summer program with minimal or no assistance.
RFI for Assistance with Toolkit
In addition to providing the toolkit, MassDEP has posted a Request for Interest (RFI) for PWSs that may want technical support services through MassDEP’s consultant on an as needed basis for implementing the Toolkit in 2020. Please see https://www.mass.gov/service-details/... for the RFI. (The RFI can also be found at www.commbuys.com, under COMMBUYS # BD-20-1045-BWR00-BWR01-45252.) Based on the response to the RFI, a list of WMA PWSs approved to receive Toolkit Technical Assistance will be generated. The RFI deadline is January 15, 2020.
