§ 21-285. Establishment of wellhead protection area.  


Latest version.
  • Development regulations established in this section shall be applicable to designated wellhead protection areas for all public supply water wells. Prior to designation of or in the absence of sufficient information for wellhead protection areas, the official wellhead protection area shall consist of a radius of four hundred (400) feet around each of the City's public supply potable water wells, as provided for in the Future Land Use Element, Objective 4 and Policy 4.8 and Conservation Element, Objective 2 and Policy 2.2 of the Comprehensive Plan of the City of Winter Haven (see Figure 1). An official map of wells and their wellhead protection areas shall be maintained in the development director's office and shall be verified annually.

    Where a property lies partly outside the wellhead protection area, development standards contained in this section shall apply only to that part of the property lying within the wellhead protection area. Where the wellhead protection area boundary passes through a building, the entire building shall be considered to be in the protection area.
