Policy Text:

The Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands should prepare a master drainage plan to improve drainage in the Lansdowne Wellhead Protection Area to ensure that local drainage ceases to endanger the raw water supply of the Lansdowne drinking water system. The plan should address, at a minimum, the existing drainage ditch east and north of supply Well #2, which was identified as a transport pathway in the Assessment Report, and runoff from the recreational fields to the west. The drainage plan will consider an alternate route for the drainage ditch and will address the historical water ponding observed in the vicinity of the supply wells.

The master drainage plan should be prepared within three years of the Source Protection Plan taking effect.

If the foregoing is undertaken by the Township, the Township should provide a copy of the master drainage plan to the Cataraqui Source Protection Authority within 60 days of its completion or after its endorsement by Council, if applicable.
