On December 15th, 2010 Moorhead Public Service received a Source Water Protection Implementation Grant from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) for approximately $7,000.

The $7,000 provided by MDH will fund two activities: the sealing of an unused well at our highway ten well field location on the buffalo aquifer, and enhancement of this website.  We will also be conducting public meetings for public input into our aquifer management plan.  More information to come!
