Six Steps to creating a SWPP
Letter for Planning Team Members:
Sometimes it can be hard to explain source water protection to your planning team members. Feel free to use this letter as a template to communicate with you team. Have them read it prior to your first meeting.
Contact your County Commissioner:
Send a letter to your County Commissioner letting them know that you are working on a SWPP. Having the support of your County can help you gain protection for areas outside your city limits.
Check out the Source Water Assessment for your system!
This will show you the protection area maps, susceptibility ranking for your intakes, a list of potential contaminants in your area, and more!
Templates:
