IDEM OWQ Mission

The Office of Water Quality’s mission is to monitor, protect, and improve Indiana’s water quality to ensure its continued use as a drinking water source, habitat for wildlife, recreational resource and economic asset. The office achieves this by: developing rules, guidance, policies and procedures; assessing surface and ground water quality; regulating and monitoring drinking water supplies and waste water facilities; protecting watersheds and wetlands and providing outreach and assistance to the regulated community and the public while supporting environmentally-responsible economic development.
