Since 1999, the Carbon County Groundwater Guardians (CCGG) has been working with private well owners to solve their problems and provide education on wells, water quality/quantity and septic systems.

CCGG was founded to meet a real need in Carbon County. As a nonprofit, volunteer organization, all our programs are designed to help homeowners and provide education for adults and children. CCGG feels that an educated public will know the importance of conserving and protecting water, on which all life depends.

Although CCGG's educational programs are based in Carbon County, PA, the Internet allows us to help anyone, anywhere.

Mission Statement:
Carbon County Groundwater Guardians (CCGG) is dedicated to protecting the residents of Carbon County, Pennsylvania from illnesses caused by our drinking water.
