Technical Assistance

Source Water Protection

Kansas Rural Water Association provides technical assistance for Water Systems with Source Water Protection planning. Often in conjunction with Wellhead Protection assistance, water systems using surface water and/or groundwater are encouraged and assisted to work with other nearby water systems and local agencies to:

1. Define the Area of Protection
2. Inventory the Potential Sources of Contamination
3. Define each Entity’s Responsibility of Management of the Identified Sources
4. Identify Preventive Measures
5. Prepare Emergency Contingency Plan, and
6. Establish Steering Committee to Monitor Progress

Safe drinking water is no accident. Start the development or update of your source water protection plan today by contacting Kansas Rural Water Association.
