In progress/some progress made
TSSA continues to be available to provide input to any Risk Management Officers, including those within the CCT catchment area, if the request for services is made. In 2024, TSSA delivered a presentation to Source Protection Authorities to highlight its actions and services related to source protection plans, that protect sources of municipal drinking water systems. Where and when appropriate, TSSA can prepare educational and outreach materials, and make them available to necessary parties. TSSA continues to maintain information on tank safety on its website.

Implemented: Policy outcome(s) evaluated - No further action(s) required
The ministry has reviewed and considered the policy. The Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA), the Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery and Procurement (MPBSDP), and the ministry continue to work together to meet the intent of applicable policies set out in Source Protection Plans to protect Ontario’s drinking water sources. This includes but is not limited to developing educational materials and amending regulatory instruments such as the Liquid Fuels Handling Code and the Fuel Oil Code. The ministry will continue to report on the actions resulting from the review of the policy. MPBSDP’s policy response has stated that in 2022 there was no collaboration on outreach materials between the Ministry of the Environment Conservation and Parks (MECP), TSSA and MPBSDP. TSSA continues to be available to provide input to any Risk Management Officers, including those within the CCT catchment area, if the request for services is made.
