The springs working group was created by concerned citizens to create a forum where government officials, professionals, and the public can discuss the issues and solutions to protecting our local springs. ACEPD coordinates quarterly meetings, which are open to the public, for the working group. To learn more about the group and our local springs visit www.SantaFeRiverSprings.com or view this Fact Sheet.
