The Town of Hobgood is dedicated to providing our customers with the best possible drinking water found anywhere around, and the importance of protecting the Town's four wells is taken very seriously.  

​

State WHP Programs are intended to be a key part of a national groundwater protection strategy to prevent contamination of groundwaters used as public drinking water supplies. Based upon NC Department of Environmental Quality's review, Hobood's WHP Plan meets the requirements for approval established under North Carolina’s WHP Program.
In North Carolina, development of a WHP Plan is not mandatory, but rather, is viewed as a valuable supplement to existing
State groundwater protection programs. North Carolina’s WHP Program is intended for city and county governments and
water supply operators interested in providing added protection to their local groundwater supplies. Once implemented, the
WHP Plan reduces (but does not eliminate) the susceptibility of wells to contaminants. Proper implementation, maintenance,
and periodic updating are essential for the local WHP Plan to be successful. Additionally, a full update to the WHP Plan is
required at least every five years and may be required to obtain WHP priority rating points for loan and grant applications.
