Questions
Source Water Protection Plan: what people ask
What is a source water assessment?
Each state's program delineates the areas that supply public water systems, identifies the origins of contaminants in those areas, and judges how susceptible each system is to them.
When are Texas drought plans due?
Retail public water suppliers with 3,300 or more connections submit drought contingency plans to TCEQ every five years; the next deadline is May 1, 2029. Smaller suppliers adopt a plan and keep it available.
Does the assessment go in our annual water report?
Your Consumer Confidence Report must name the type and common name of your water source, and if a source water assessment has been done, say that it is available and how to get it.
