Town of Beech Mountain

Local Wellhead Protection Program Plan Notice

The Town of Beech Mountain, with assistance from the North Carolina Rural Water Association, is in the process of developing a Local Wellhead Protection Program Plan. This is a voluntary program intended to assist us in protecting the system’s water supply from contamination, and to identify vulnerable areas around our well called the “Wellhead Protection Area”. Another goal of this program is to make residents and businesses aware that chemicals and other pollutants spilled or dumped in the vicinity of the “Wellhead Protection Area” can be drawn into the well, possibly contaminating the system’s drinking water supply.

The town is asking for your assistance in developing this program.  You are invited to review the program and submit any comments or suggestions to the town.  All written public comments will be reviewed by the Wellhead Protection Committee, and any suggestions or comments that may be beneficial will be incorporated into the program.  Comments on the draft will be received until May 30, 2025.
