What is at Risk?

Chemical spills, leaks, and improper storage can lead to pollution of water which seeps into the ground and travels to drinking water wells.  The area around a drinking water well is known as a wellfield protection area.  Businesses in wellfield protection areas are required to follow the Marion County Public Health Department's Wellfield Protection Code.
