Re:     Local Well Rules

On Tuesday, June 3, 2008 the Johnston County Board of Health will be considering amending the current local well rules, and adopting by reference the new state-mandated well rules into the local rules. The state-mandated rules go into effect on July 1, 2008.

The meeting will be held in the Johnston County Public Health Department at 517 North Brightleaf Blvd., Smithfield. The meeting begins at 7:00 pm in the Health Education Conference Room.  

A copy of the proposed rules can be seen at http://www.johnstonnc.com/files/EnvironmentalHealth/2008_Well_Rules.pdf or at the Environmental Health Office in the Johnston County Land Use Center, 309 E. Market St, Smithfield.

If there should be questions, please contact me.
