Water is life. In Teton County, all residents rely on the water draining through the Snake River Headwaters watershed to meet our cultural, commercial, and personal needs. Groundwater from the Snake River Sole Source Aquifer (SSA) provides drinking water for nearly all residents, and it is our only viable drinking water source. Unfortunately, our aquifer is already showing signs of stress. We have impaired creeks. We have persistent and emergent drinking water contamination issues in areas across the county. Protect Our Water Jackson Hole (POWJH) believes these canaries in the coal mine indicate the need for action to protect and restore the connected groundwater and surface waters, which are critical for the region’s health, economy, and way of life.
