Developing and implementing a wellhead protection plan may cost a little bit of money, but when compared to clean up costs that small investment is well worth it. Many studies have shown that clean up costs can be as much as 8 to 200 times more expensive than implementing a wellhead protection plan (Reference 1 and Reference 2 ).
In Maine, the estimated cost of prevention can range between $5,000 and $150,000, where the estimated cost of clean up or replacement can range from $500,000 to $2,000,000 (Reference 3 )! Investing a little in prevention now instead of clean up later can save money in the long run.
