Formed in 2025, the Morrow County Clean Water Consortium is a partnership between Morrow County and the Port of Morrow. We work to ensure everyone in our rural areas has access to safe, clean drinking water. Our team seeks to fund and build essential water projects to help local families dealing with nitrate issues. The Consortium is led by a combined Board from the County and Port, with guidance from an eleven-member advisory committee of local residents living within the LUBGWMA.
