Source Water Protection Plan

HENRY COUNTY PUBLIC SAFETY AUTHORITY SOURCE WATER PROTECTION PLAN

 The Henry County Public Service Authority (PSA) is committed to protecting the local drinking water that supplies the residents of Henry County and other PSA water users. The PSA, working with the assistance of CHA Consulting, Inc., developed a comprehensive plan to protect and maintain the high quality of its drinking water sources. This work was performed through grant funding provided by the Virginia Department of Health. The goal of the Source Water Protection Plan is to identify and diminish the risks of events such as chemical spills, failing septic systems, or other source water contamination events that could potentially compromise the drinking water supply within the Upper Smith River watershed. The following links show the measures that can be taken to prevent contamination of our pristine source water.
