Ground Water Programs - On-Site Water Supply |
|
The purpose of the on site water supply program is to insure
that the public health is protected through safe drinking water, proper well and
water supply system construction, and site location evaluation for wells before
installation.
To prevent contamination of the on site water supply is a high
priority of the program. The program involves a permit process and the
identification of the specific type of supply, public or private. Water supplies
are classified according to the number of people served and the number of
service connections.
