City of Sturgeon Lake Wellhead Protection Plan Implementation Project

Pine Soil and Water Conservation District is partnering with the City of Sturgeon Lake to seal over 50% of the unused wells in the city limits. The City of Sturgeon Lake recently installed a municipal water supply system, and completed a Minnesota Department of Health approved Wellhead Protection Plan. Residents have connected to the new public water supply system and need to seal their unused wells.
This project will provide 50% cost-share funds for well sealing to residents already connected to the municipal water supply on a first-come-first-serve basis. This project will seal between 75-100 unused wells, focusing on wells within the Drinking Water Supply Management Area (DWSMA) according to the City's Wellhead Protection Plan.
