The members of the former Wayland Wellhead Protection Committee announce the launching of their new website, WaylandWells.com, a comprehensive repository of information about Wayland's drinking water supply. Created in an effort to inform and energize the public to protect the town’s most precious resource, the site provides access to hundreds of public documents, including a vast array of maps, pictures, reports, recommendations and links.

Residents can find everything from the most basic information to technical details regarding testing results, potential sources of contamination, regulations, and what they can do to help protect their drinking water. Included on the site is Wayland's 2011 Wellhead Protection Plan, which was commended by MassDEP for its thoroughness and practicality.

Everyday decisions about land and water uses continue to affect the stewardship and sustainability of Wayland's local water supply. So be sure to explore the “Getting Involved” section.

We hope visitors to WaylandWells.com will find it a valuable and exciting resource.
