To help protect the groundwater and our water supply wells from potential contamination, the City is currently implementing a Wellhead Protection Plan. The Wellhead Protection Plan focuses on public awareness and education along with  spill prevention and reporting. For more information or to join the local planning team and assist with the implementation of the Wellhead Protection Plan, contact Jim Inskeep, Water Superintendent at 260-724-3814.


Household Tips for Protecting
Our Drinking Water Supply:

1. Reduce the amount of fertilizers, pesticides, or other hazardous chemicals that you use. Buy only what you need so that you don't have to dispose of leftovers. Read all the labels and follow directions.

2. Use organic lawn and garden alternatives that do not contain synthetic chemical poisons.

3. Reduce the use of products that contain any of the following words on their labels: cause, warning, danger, poison, flammable, volatile, caustic or corrosive.

4. Recycle used oil, automotive fluids, batteries and other products. Don't dispose of hazardous products in toilets, storm drains, wastewater systems, creeks, alleys or the ground. This pollutes the water supply.

Thank you!
