Potable water suppliers strive to maintain high quality raw water sources. Protecting raw waterquality can reduce treatment costs and may postpone or avoid the need to develop new supplies.An important first step in maintaining a high quality raw water supply is to assess the presence ofpotential groundwater contamination sources in the area of water supply wells. This isparticularly important in a dispersed wellfield system, where several wells may be linkedtogether in an urban setting consisting of various land uses, specifically commercial andindustrial uses.Tampa Bay Water recognizes the importance of protecting the raw groundwater supply fromadverse environmental conditions, including contamination from historic or ongoing land usepractices in the area of its supply wells. Tampa Bay Water's proactive dispersed wellfieldmonitoring program is key to the ongoing effort to protect this valuable resource. Thismonitoring program can be considered a comprehensive evaluation which can be used by otherwater suppliers to develop their own monitoring programs. Includes figure.
