On Tuesday May 12, 2026, Delaware County was honored to welcome our City, State, and Federal partners to our beautiful county for a Water Quality Tour. We’re proud of the work happening here in the NYC watershed—built on strong partnerships, open communication, and science-based solutions that protect drinking water while supporting our local communities.

A special thank you to everyone who joined us, including: DEP Commissioner Lisa Garcia; DEP Deputy Commissioner Paul Rush; DEC Commissioner Amanda Lefton; DEC Region 4 Director Sean Mahar; Watershed Inspector General Claiborne Walthall; DOH Watershed Section Chief Pat Palmer; Deputy Secretary of State Keisha Santiago; US EPA Region 2 Environmental Specialist Katie Lynch; and representatives for Governor Hochul, Congressman Riley, and Senator Gillibrand.

For more than 30 years, Delaware County has embraced the Memorandum of Agreement and worked side-by-side with our partners to develop innovative watershed programs. The real credit goes to the dedicated staff, scientists, and local experts who show up every day to keep this watershed healthy and resilient.

Thank you to everyone who participated, shared ideas, and asked great questions. Protecting our shared water resources takes teamwork—and Delaware County is committed to continuing that work for the long haul.
