Teton County and Teton Conservation District are seeking the community’s to help guide the process of examining and addressing drinking water quality issues facing Hoback Junction. Early this month, the county and conservation district partnered to address those concerns. They mailed a survey to residents in Hoback Junction, Hog Island and Camp Creek to be completed and returned by mail or electronically by September 10th.
The survey also allows residents to express that they do not wish to be involved in process. At the same time, the county is looking for approximately ten volunteers from the community to serve on a Hoback Junction Drinking Water Stakeholder Group that will look at ways to protect human health by developing recommendations over the next 12 months that address drinking water safety issues, as well as drinking water and wastewater planning and management.
The highest priority for the group will be helping Hoback Junction residents whose drinking water sources have exceeded nitrate concentrations deemed unsafe by the Environmental Protection Agency. The group will meet at least four times and host at least one public meeting during the course of the year. At the conclusion, they will provide recommendations to the Teton County Board of County Commissioners and Teton Conservation District Board of Supervisors on proposed actions to be taken to improve the availability of safe drinking water in Hoback Junction.
