Wellhead Protection Program

The Shrewsbury Borough Council has developed a wellhead protection program
that protects the groundwater underlying the community water supply,
which consists of several wells located throughout the borough and
Shrewsbury Township.

This groundwater is currently our sole source of public water. It is not an infinitely renewable resource.
Growth threatens to deplete the available groundwater supply through excess demand
and inhibits the recharge capability of the area through
exorbitant impervious areas and competing resource uses.

Accidental spills and discharges of toxic and regulated substances can threaten the quality of our water,
posing public health and safety hazards. These hazards are a greater threat
because of the increasing land development, population and vehicular traffic
all through our region but especially in the vicinity of our wellheads.

wellhead protection overlay district.

The borough's Zoning Officer was given the responsibility for
administration and enforcement of the ordinance.

in a wellhead protection district.

please call 235-7341.
