In 2007, DCCD received a grant from the League of Women's Voters Water Resource Education Network (WREN) to produce an 11-issue newsletter series, entitled "Your Water, Your Future", about water resources and stormwater management. The series was sent to elected officials and planning commission members of each of Dauphin County's 41 municipalities to familiarize them with these topics and introduce them to the municipal role in preserving and protecting our county's water resources.
