Protecting Our Water: Inside the Strategic Water Quality Monitoring Program 10/21/25
Tuesday, October 21, 2025

Kris Thomas from the City of Angola’s MS4 program and Alicia Walsh, Chief Environmental Health Specialist with Steuben County, join WLKI’s Andy St. John to explore the Strategic Water Quality Monitoring Program in Northeast Indiana.

Alicia and Kris explain how this collaborative initiative is tracking, protecting, and improving local water quality through hands-on sampling and chemical analysis across the region’s watershed. They discuss why clean water matters to everyone—whether you live on a lake or not—and how individual actions upstream affect communities downstream.

You’ll also hear about the data being collected, when results may be available, and how local residents can learn more or get involved through partner organizations.

Whether you're a concerned resident, an environmental advocate, or just curious about your local water resources, this offers an insightful look into a vital program shaping the future of Steuben County’s water quality.

Learn more at WLKI.com, and through the City of Angola, Steuben County Health Department, Steuben County Lakes Council, and the Steuben County Soil and Water Conservation District.
