Sewer District Why have a Protection Plan? The safety of your drinking water is important. With heavy reliance on the use of chemicals in today’s world, the dangers of accidental spills and the threat of terrorism, we need to have a plan to protect our drinking water supplies. We are fortunate to have an abundant and safe supply of drinking water. The conditions that allow us to have this abundance has the downside of making our water supply highly susceptible to contamination. We do not have a contaminated water supply, but if there were an accidental spill or deliberate introduction of contaminate, it would move quickly through our aquifer and potentially contaminate the water supply. By development of the Protection Plan we put in place measures to protect the water supply. Preparing the Protection Plan The first step in developing the Protection Plan was the identification of a protection zone. The picture below shows the protection zone for our wells. It is divided into an inner zone and an outer zone. The boundary of the outer zone is where contaminates would take five years to enter the wells. The boundary of inner zone is where contaminates would take one year to enter the wells. The majority of the protection area consists of agricultural land within the Bolivar Dam flowage easement. This limits the potential uses to agriculture with scattered oil and gas wells. Our Protection Areas Relationship of
