Wellhead Protection Program

Michigan’s Wellhead Protection Program (WHPP) was created to protect community public water
supplies from contaminants, which may have adverse health effects if they were to reach water supply
wells. The program works in combination with public awareness, planning, education, and
management programs. For locations of Wellhead Protection Program areas click on the link below.
