Mount Gretna may not have streams or lakes running through its streets, but water still defines our community. Beneath the surface lies an aquifer that quietly supplies every tap and well, connecting our homes through the unseen flow of groundwater. Though invisible, this hidden water source sustains daily life, making its protection as important as caring for the forests above it.

Just as trees root us in identity and tradition, our wells tie us to place in a more practical way: the choices we make here—on our roads, in our yards, and in our shared landscapes—directly shape the quality of the water we drink. Protecting groundwater is both environmental stewardship and a responsibility to one another as neighbors.
