by Michele R. Grot tola COURT HOUSE - Cape May County faces the problem of having its natural water supply depleted if proper regulatory programs aren’t put into effect —

now.

‘Tm not a seer, but without effective environmental safeguards, this could happen within five to 10 years.” cautions Elwood "Woody” Jarmer, director of the Cape May County Planning Board. LIKE MOST en vironmental issues, the solution requires the collective efforts of the entire county community If it is going to work. “Conservation is the key word, today. If all our hotel and home owners would install water regulators in their shower heads, commodes and faucets, this area could reduce its water usage by 30 percent — without even noticing it,” explained Mr. Jarmer THIS SIMPLE precautionary step has been available to property owners for a while now, but still most haven't bothered to install the devices. Many say it's due to “economic considerations." "The monetary cost of implementing such safeguards is greater than the cost of using the surplus water to many peoples' way of thinking," says Mr. Jarmer. IN 1978, the Cape May

County Comprehensive Plan - intended as a plan for future growth and development — was revised and made available to the general public. New guidelines, such as water quality management under Section 208 of the federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1970, are carefully outlined. The subject of water supply receives serious attention in the overall

county plhn

The authors point out that "water is probably the least appreciated of our natural resources" and "the most seriously abused." They also caution that "water resources are probably the most critical elements" in terms of any community's survival. ONE MAJOR way in which the water supply can be saved, in terms of both quality and quantity, is through the countywide septics management

program.

This program, if properly effected, will prevent the county's ground water sources from becoming polluted by high conc^htrations of nitrates, which happens when individual septic tanks are installed too close to each other. The overall importance of implementing the .program hits home when its is realized that ground water sources are the basis of future water (Page 3 Please)
