FAQS
A well is a hole drilled into the ground to access water contained in an aquifer.
An aquifer is a body of porous rock or sediment saturated with groundwater.
GCSED has designed and implemented a drinking water source protection plan with the guidance from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. This plan addresses: (1) educating residents and decision makers about protecting the source water; (2) including source water concerns in the system’s contingency plan; and (3) strategies to reduce the risk posed by specific potential contaminant sources.
As a homeowner, we encourage you to learn about things that can be done around your home to help protect your drinking water resources. These include:
- limiting the use of pesticides, fertilizers, and other lawn chemicals;
- not pouring chemicals down the drain;
- recycling used motor oil and antifreeze;
- cleaning up animal waste, and having septic systems inspected regularly.
