First public meeting on the Hoback Water Project

For years, certain areas of Hoback Junction have been burdened with drinking water that exceeds nitrate concentration levels deemed unsafe by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Teton County formed the Hoback Drinking Water Quality Stakeholder Group was formed last fall to look at options that address drinking water safety issues with guidance from the steering committee comprised of Teton Conservation District and Teton County Engineering and Health Departments. Nearly six months after its formation, the stakeholders, along with Teton County and Teton Conservation District, are ready to present ideas that could help improve the quality of drinking water in Hoback Junction to the public.
