A. Wellhead protection zones are areas within the influence of the municipal well(s) that are protected from environmental impacts. Currently there are several municipalities that utilize groundwater that have defined wellhead protection zones. When conducting the initial assessment, the Underground Storage Tank Quality Consultant (QC) should identify whether the municipality has a designated wellhead protection zone. The DEQ website has a list of communities with wellhead protection zones.
