Put Water First

For us, this means taking a systematic view of drinking water source and watershed security that considers water quality and quantity as well as human and ecosystem health. PRC members are working with local officials to implement programs and policies that protect the Lower Portneuf Valley Aquifer and the Portneuf River watershed for the people, ecosystems, businesses and economies of Pocatello and surrounding communities.
