Municipalities, in consultation with their respective principal authorities, shall develop and implement an education and awareness program for the landowners in WHPA-A and WHPA-B where the vulnerability score is 10 and septic systems and holding tanks are significant drinking water threats.

The program identified in a. should provide information to landowners about the proper operation and maintenance of their on-site sewage systems (i.e. septic systems and holding tanks), and about the benefits of a well maintained system.

This program is to begin before the start of the mandatory on-site sewage system maintenance inspection program that is required by the Ontario Building Code.

6.2.3: By February 15 of the year following implementation of policy 6.2.1-CW, the principal authority for Part 8 of the Ontario Building Code for each of the municipalities shall provide the Cataraqui Source Protection Authority with a summary of the results from the mandatory on-site sewage system (i.e., septic system and holding tank) maintenance inspection programs, including a copy of any orders or recommendations identifying any corrective actions that must or should be implemented to ensure proper system function, as well as copies of the educational materials used.
