District staff briefed trustees on source protection plans for the district’s public drinking water wells and the continuing requirement to promote public awareness.

The presentation was informational and raised no board objections. Staff emphasized the purpose is protective: to monitor potential contamination sources and encourage practices that reduce risk to drinking water supplies. Trustees had no questions and did not take action beyond accepting the report.
