WELLHEAD PROTECTION PROGRAM
The Wellhead Protection (WHP) Program is dedicated to safeguarding drinking water from potential contamination.
Protecting groundwater sources, including Logansport’s aquifers, is essential to ensuring a safe and reliable water supply for our community.
There are many ways our community can help protect local water quality. By working together, residents, local businesses, and Logansport Utilities support the continued availability of clean drinking water for both current and future generations.
Logansport Utilities maintains an ongoing WHP Plan designed to protect groundwater and water supply wells from potential contamination. This plan emphasizes public awareness, education, spill prevention, and proper reporting procedures.
The complete WHP Plan is available for review by appointment with the Water Operations team at 722 Bringhurst Street, Logansport, IN.
To schedule an appointment or to learn more about the WHP Plan, please contact Randy Jackson, Water Operations Manager, at (574) 753-5080.
TIPS TO HELP PROTECT DRINKING WATER
Reduce the amount of fertilizers, pesticides, or other hazardous chemicals that you use. Buy only what you need so that you do not have to dispose of leftovers. Read all the labels and follow directions. Referto these helpful links:

Household Hazardous Waste – Tips for your Home
Plug abandoned wells on your property as these old wells provide a direct route for surface contamination to reach ground water supplies. Contact a licensed well driller for assistance.
Have septic system inspected and serviced every three years.

Check your car, boat, motorcycle and other machinery for leaks and spills. Collect leaks with a drip pan until repairs can be made. Clean up spills by absorbing the spill. Discard properly. Do not rinse with water or allow it to soak into the ground.
Reduce the use of products that contain any of the following words on their labels: caution, warning, danger, poison, flammable, volatile, caustic or corrosive.
Recycle used oil, automotive fluids, batteries, hazardous household waste, and other products.
Do not dispose of hazardous products in toilets, stormdrains, wastewater systems, creeks, alleys, or the ground.
