Groundwater Protection

One source contributing to the drinking water system in the City of Saratoga Springs is groundwater that comes from several City-owned wells. City Code 18.06.02.1.c acknowledges the importance of protecting the quality of receiving waters, including groundwater sources. Any property within proximity to groundwater sources throughout the city has the potential of discharging contaminants that may be introduced to the groundwater supply and contaminate the drinking water.
