Example of a wellhead protection area showing the 200-day (light green) and 2,500-day (dark green) travel zones.

This data access platform has been developed primarily to assist planners, developers, and regulators who need to know the location of areas that are used as public water supplies. However, the data provided and Google Earth are available for public use.


About the Data

Data provided include:

  • Contact information for the owners of the supplies.
  • Protection areas for each supply (wellhead protection and source water protection areas).
  • Environmental and Geographic Analysis Database (EGAD) of potential and actual sources of contamination (fb88 DEP).
  • Conserved lands.
  • Land conservation group service areas.

No water quality or water system operational data are available on the site.

Users can view the direct watershed (source protection area) for a surface water drinking water source.
