Environmental Sustainability
A Commitment to Our Future
At the FDWD, environmental sustainability means our commitment to maintaining and managing our land resources while providing water to an expanding population. As use increases, so too, do our efforts to maintain reservoir and aquifer capacities, to capture and hold more water from new sources, to patrol our land holdings, to protect watershed and aquifer areas, and to serve our customers by providing clean, clear, and pure water.
Our Land and Water Supply
The FDWD collects water running through more than ten square miles of watershed, from Lewisboro, NY, to New Caanan, Ridgefield, and Wilton, CT.
Environmental Stewardship
Beyond providing drinking water, we act as stewards, or guardians, of the environment.
Land Management
Within the watershed, along the Silvermine River Basin, the land is preserved and protected.
