SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The Onondaga County Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) will use $50,000 in federal funding to protect drinking water in Onondaga County.
The funds are available through the U.S. Forest Service’s Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI), the office of U.S. Representative John Katko (R–Camillus) announced.
GLRI is a program that provides federal investment for projects that ensure access to clean drinking water and protect Lake Ontario and the Great Lakes.

Those watersheds provide drinking water to 485,000 residents in Onondaga County, Katko’s office said in a release.
“This important investment ensures the nearly half a million residents who rely on these watersheds have continued access to clean drinking water,” Katko said.
