The Aquifer Protection Area (APA) Program was established by the Connecticut Legislature to protect large public water supply wells from contamination through land use controls.  New activities involving hazardous materials will be prohibited from locating in an APA.  Existing facilities that use hazardous materials will be required to register with the Town’s Aquifer Protection Agency.  Registered facilities will be allowed to continue to operate, change or expand operations on the site.  Basic best management practices for handling and storage of hazardous materials will be required for all regulated facilities.  Agricultural activities and any activity conducted at a residence without compensation are not subject to APA regulations.
