The WHPP is the result of dedicated efforts of our community Wellhead Protection Committee.  This Committee consists of citizens, water treatment plant personnel, Plainfield Township professional planners, the engineering firm of Prein & Newhof, the Township Manager, and representatives of local businesses, public schools, health and fire departments. 

The WHPP provides the community with a proactive plan for protecting our drinking water supply and insuring guidelines that were established by the MDEQ have been met.  The Wellhead Protection area is the region that encompasses the groundwater that is likely to reach municipal wells in the next ten years.  The Wellhead Protection plan includes elements to establish roles and responsibilities, a contaminant source inventory of the Wellhead Protection Area, strategies to protect our ground water supply, a contingency plan, and a plan to educate the community about the importance of protecting our ground water.

Annual Township Water Festival

The Wellhead Water Festival is a fun, free and educational event held each summer at the beautiful Versluis Park in Plainfield Charter Township (map).

A goal of the festival is to educate our children and the community using hands-on activities to demonstrate the importance of wise use, conservation and protection of our water and water sources.  But most of all, we want to provide residents with an afternoon of games, arts-and-crafts projects and fun in the sun. The Water Festival is a free event to everyone with paid admission to Versluis Park.
