What is a Wellhead Protection Plan?
A Wellhead Protection Plan is a program written by a local team to protect public water supply systems from potential sources of groundwater contamination. It is done by forming a wellhead protection team to delineate the area that needs protection, taking an inventory of potential sources of contamination, using appropriate management strategies, developing contingency plans, planning for future wells, and involving the public in the development and implementation process. For more information of the process please visit History of WHP.
