All public water suppliers are required to manage an inner-wellhead management zone, a 200-foot radius surrounding a public water supply, by:- Maintaining adequate isolation distances for newly-installed potential sources of contamination
- Monitoring existing potential sources of contamination
- Implementing wellhead protection measures for potential contaminant sources
In addition, owners and operators of a public water supply must prepare a Wellhead Protection Plan, which includes:
- A map showing the delineated wellhead protection areas
- A vulnerability assessment of the wells and the wellhead protection areas
- An inventory of potential sources of contamination within the wellhead protection areas
- A plan to manage and monitor existing and proposed potential sources of contamination
- A contingency strategy for an alternative emergency water supply
