Wells
The Orange County Health Department is committed to the protection of our groundwater resources in order to assure a safe and adequate supply of water for our citizens. Approximately 40 percent of OC's population relies on ground water as their source of drinking water. Protection of this resource is accomplished through proper location, construction, permitting and inspection of wells.
