Stantec CITY OF CENTERVILLE -2018 LOCAL WATER PLAN PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT use on groundwater can be found in the City's Wellhead Protection Plan, adopted in December 2007. A copy of this plan can be obtained at City Hall. The plan contains information which the City views as security-sensitive; consequently, the full Wellhead Protection Plan is not available online, but the action steps that the City of Centerville is taking to protect its groundwater supply are discussed below. These action steps include: • Implementing a public education program: Centerville will implement both a Wellhead Protection Awareness Project, which will help residents and business owners be involved in wellhead protection efforts, as well as a Hazardous Materials Management Education Project, where residents and business owners will learn how to use, store and dispose of hazardous materials within the DWSMAs through environmental education programs. • Managing wells: The City will seal abandoned wells within DWSMAs, and work with MDH to monitor/maintain construction records of wells within the City. • Monitoring contaminant sources: The City will track potential contaminants within the DWSMA. • Utilizing existing land use and development programs: The City will work with planning and zoning authorities to change controls so that drinking wells are protected. The City will also consult the Wellhead Protection Plan when it updates the Local Water Plan (this document) and the Comprehensive Plan. • Ensuring adequate water quantity and quality: As part of the Wellhead Protection Plan, Centerville will monitor aquifer chemistry and minimize groundwater use by imposing water conservation measures. As discussed in the Wellhead Protection Report, the City will evaluate progress of the Plan by preparing an internal progress report for the above action items. Progress reports will be prepared every 2.5 years at a minimum. This report will include updates to the Potential Contaminant Source Inventory, summarize water quality data and water demands, and among other updates, will present information on future actions to meet Wellhead Protection Plan goals and objectives. 3.12 50
