NOTE: This map shows Connecticut's Aquifer Protection
Areas, as delineated through the Level A and Level B
Mapping Processes. Aquifer Protection Areas are delineated
for active public water supply wells in stratified drift that serve
more that 1000 people, in accordance with Sections 22a354c and 22a-354z of the Connecticut General Statutes.
Level B Mapping delineates a preliminary aquifer protection
area, providing an estimate of the land area from which the
well draws its water. Level A Mapping delineates the final
Aquifer Protection Area, which becomes the regulatory
boundary for land use controls designed to protect the well
from contamination. As Level A Mapping is completed for
each well field and approved by DEEP, it will replace the
Level B Mapping.
