potential contamination. Many communities are taking a proactive approach to prevent the pollution of their drinking water sources by developing a source water protection plan. A source water protection plan identifies a source water protection area, lists potential contaminant sources and outlines best management practices to decrease risks to the water source. Implementation of a source water protection plan provides an additional layer of protection at the local level beyond drinking water regulations. The Town of Nederland values a clean, high quality drinking water supply and decided to work collaboratively with area stakeholders, including the City of Boulder, to develop a Source Water Protection Plan. The source water protection planning effort consisted of public planning meetings and individual meetings with water operators, government, and agency representatives during the period between July 2013 and December 2014 at meetings held in Nederland. During the development of this Plan, a Steering Committee was formed to develop and implement this Source Water Protection Plan. Colorado Rural Water Association was instrumental in this effort by providing technical assistance in the development of this Source Water Protection Plan. The Town of Nederland obtains its drinking water directly from Middle Boulder Creek at the site of the water treatment plant (WTP) intake. The Town’s water
