BACKGROUNDIJUST[FICATIOW
The City Otsego protects its Public Water System sources through a Well Head Protection Plan
implemented in 2006. The goals of the plan include:
1. Inform the public about the City's need to conserve and protect our ground water resource.
2. Monitor and manage other wells, existing or proposed within the DWSMA's to eliminate
potential contamination sources.
3. Provide and promote activities that protect the aquifer from which the City's Drinking water
supply is drawn.
4. Provide ongoing collection of data to support future wellhead protection efforts.
5. Implement an active community -wide water conservation program.
6. Provide additional safety and flexibility in the City's water system to handle a catastrophic
failure or act of terrorism.
The Well Head Protection Plan Manager ensures actions are taken to complete objectives and goals of
the plan and serves as a contact for local, state and federal agencies. The Plan amendment begins in
2013 as part of a ten year cycle. Actions include delineation of wells, vulnerability assessment, and
establishment of goals.
