The intent of the groundwater and wellhead protection standards is to provide supplemental development regulations within the township so as to permanently protect the drinking water source from long-term contamination originating from the improper use, storage or generation of hazardous substances or polluting materials. Due to the vulnerability of ground water aquifers to contamination and the need for public health protection, and the significant public investment in the municipal water system, these regulations contain protective measures which apply to all new development within the township that requires site plan review and approval. These provisions are intended to protect groundwater drinking sources within the township as they relate to individual on-site wells and the municipal water supply system of the City of Albion as it relates to the township.
