Where does your drinking water come from?
If you live or work in the City of Ithaca, your drinking water comes from beautiful Six Mile Creek. The Finger Lakes Land Trust has recently undertaken the Six Mile Creek Protection Project to permanently secure 12,000 feet of shoreline on land that connects to the Roy H. Park Preserve, Hammond Hill State Forest, and other conserved lands.
