To help protect
the groundwater and our water supply
wells from potential contamination,
the Town of Bainbridge is currently
implementing a Wellhead Protection
Plan.
The Wellhead Protection Plan
focuses on public awareness and
education and spill prevention and
reporting.
For more information or to
join the local planning team and
assist with the implementation of
the Wellhead Protection Plan,

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.
·
Use
organic lawn and garden alternatives
that do not contain synthetic
chemical poisons.
·
Reduce the use of products that
contain any of the following words
on their labels:
caution, warning, danger,
poisons, flammable, volatile,
caustic, or corrosive.
·
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.
