TO All Active Members
FROM John Martineau, Groundwater Technician
DATE September 21, 1994
SUBJECT Groundwater Protection Program
Florida Rural Water Association is pleased to
introduce to you a new position and a new person in our
effort to better serve small water systems.
John Martineau is our new Groundwater Technician
and brings many years of experience in groundwater and
the needs of small systems with him. John will be
heading up our effort to provide on-site assistance and
technical support to water systems as you establish
your Groundwater Protection Programs.
Ninety percent of Florida drinking water comes
from groundwater sources. The intent of Groundwater
Protection is to protect potable wells from
contamination. This will reduce the risk of well
replacement or restoration due to contamination. This
is truly an area in which "An Ounce of Prevention is
Worth A Pound of Cure" as there is a profound financial
impact on communities when they have to install
treatment facilities, locate new water sources, or
remediate due to contamination.
The only sure way to protect our water supplies
now and for generations to come is to protect the
source. Source protection can be accomplished through
a five step plan.
1. Select a Planning Team
2. Delineate the Protection Area
3. Identify Contamination Sources
4. Manage the Protection Area
5. Develop a Contingency Plan
With impending statewide regulations on Wellhead
Protection it is very important to get started now
protecting your supply.
If you would like an update on wellhead protection
and help in getting started on your local program call
John Martineau at 1-800-872-8207 and he will be
delighted to assist you.
