Village of Mattawan Well Head Main Page
The Village of Mattawan established a Well Head Protection Program to teach everyone how important it is to protect the ground water in and around the Village of Mattawan. To start the program the Village hired a consultant to figure out our deliniation for each well field. Once they were established the consultant ran checks to find any potential source contaminates (any thing in the deliniation area that could potentally contaminate our well fields.
We then put up signage around the Village and in both Van Buren and Kalamazoo Counties to signify that we were a Well Head Protection Community and where the boarders are on our deliniation area's.
We are now into the education portion of our program. We have a 3D Ground Water Model that we use to show how contamination enters the ground water. We have also established this site to try and reach out to as many people as possible. As the Rural Water slogan says "Quality on Tap, our commitment and our Profession.
