Virginia Source Water Protection Areas Surface Water Zone 1

A zone 1 source water protection area represents a 5 mile radius from the identified location of a surface water source intake. If the watershed of the intake is less than a 5 mile radius, then the Zone 1 area is constrained to the limits of the watershed. These boundaries were originally developed by Virginia Department of Health as part of the Source Water Protection Program. Hampton Roads Planning District Commission staff updated the boundaries based on locality feedback in 2020.
