Wellhead Protection Plan
The City of Ortonville has developed a wellhead protection plan in order to protect the groundwater which supplies the needs of our community. One of the goals of this plan is to increase awareness about the vulnerability of Ortonville’s groundwater to contamination. It is important that each one of us recognize that we can have a direct influence on the quality of the groundwater which Ortonville uses.
Please contact the City of Ortonville at 320-839-3428 if you have any questions or if you need to report a potential water contamination source.
