§ 101-1. Purpose and legislative intent.

The purpose of the Watershed Protection Overlay District ("Watershed District") is to promote health, safety, and general welfare of the community. The Watershed District will preserve and protect existing publicly owned sources of municipal drinking water systems. Protection of municipal water supplies preserves important community resources and reduces the future financial impacts related to water treatment. The overlay sets forth standards and principles designed to protect water quality and quantity from impacts of various activities in the watershed areas and aquifers contributing to these water supplies. All proposed development within the designated overlay Watershed District must be demonstrated to result in no harm to reservoir or well water quality.
