Policy Text:

The Dufferin County municipalities that share a water source within a Tier 3 Water Budget WHPA-Q1 identified as having significant water quantity threats shall develop a Joint Municipal Water Supply Management model, and implement within 3 years of approval of the Source Protection Plan. This management model shall facilitate the planning and management of water supply sources to ensure sustainability of a long term water supply in each municipality and ensure that water quality and quantity is maintained or improved such that activities cease to be, or do not become, significant drinking water threats in the WHPA-Q1. The municipalities shall report to the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks and the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, on the options and proposed management model within 1 year of the approval of the Source Protection Plan.

Reg. 287/07 under the Clean Water Act, 2006 to the Source Protection Authority on the actions taken in the previous calendar year to achieve the outcomes of the source protection policy. Where applicable, municipal planning authorities shall provide a copy of the notice of adoption of amendments to official plans and/or zoning by laws. Reporting shall include information related to the effectiveness of the policies in ensuring a threat ceases to be, or does not become significant, and any actions required to respond to a drinking water threat during the reporting period.
