To achieve the intent of the CWA, significant drinking water threats identified in the vicinity of a transport pathway shall be managed to reduce the risk to municipal drinking water sources such that they do not become a significant threat and that a pathway reduces the risk to the source water of a municipal water supply. The County and/or Municipality are requested to support ongoing programs which encourage the decommissioning of abandoned wells as per O. Reg. 903 within all WHPA- A and IPZ-1 areas where there is or would be a significant drinking water threat.

WC-CW-1.9: The municipality shall provide a report to the Source Protection Authority, by February 1st of each year, summarizing the actions taken to implement the Source Protection Plan policies, where specifically required by the policies.

Where the County is required to implement education and outreach programs as the primary means of managing the risk associated with significant drinking water threats, the report must indicate, at minimum, the properties where these programs were implemented and additional details on how the significant drinking water threat was managed and/or ceased to be significant.
