Local Regulations

Spanish

If your business is located within a Wellfield Protection Area, changes to Indianapolis zoning codes (Section 742-204) and Marion County health ordinances may affect your operations.

The Wellfield Business Code requires wellfield businesses use best management practices including, but not limited to:

  • employee training on spill response and prevention
  • maintenance of spill kits on site
  • proper floor condition and maintenance
  • proper container use, labeling, and storage
  • overfill fill alarms
  • secondary containment measures

Advantages of the new codes and ordinance include standardization of requirements for wellfield businesses and improving drinking water protection for Marion County.
