The BCRWA Wellhead Protection Committee was created in 1999, as a part of the BCRWA Wellhead Protection Plan. The committee is comprised of the individuals from the water company and the local community. The goal of the committee is to protect the Ohio River Aquifer, the precious water source in Brown County, for the future generations. It is one of the most active wellhead protection committees in the state of Ohio. The members have been meeting for TEN years now!
