Source Water Assessment Program

A Source Water Assessment is
not a Wellhead Protection Plan
A “source water assessment” and a “wellhead protection plan” are two different documents with separate and distinct purposes. However, the source water assessment can aid a water system in its wellhead protection planning process by providing information necessary for completing a wellhead protection plan. Keep in mind that the source water assessment is produced by the WDNR, while the wellhead protection plan is developed by the water system and its wellhead protection planning team.
