Wellhead Protection Program

Wellhead Protection (WHP) is a program focused on protecting drinking water from potential contamination.  Protection of groundwater (i.e., aquifers) is critical as it supplies drinking water to the majority of Indiana residents.  It is also important to understand that a sound pollution prevention strategy is far more effective and less expensive than remediating or replacing a contaminated water source.  Public support depends on public awareness, so citizens need to know that many routine activities can affect water quality.  Through cooperation between the citizens in the community, local businesses and Speedway Water Works, a collective approach will lead to a dependable water supply for current and future generations.
