Policy Text:

To ensure existing and future onsite sewage systems and onsite holding tanks cease to be or never become significant drinking water threats, where these activities are, or would be, significant drinking water threats, the County of Dufferin will implement an on-site sewage system maintenance inspection program, as required under the Ontario Building Code Act. Inspections should be prioritized based on the proximity to the drinking water supply.

Protection Authority, by February 1st of each year, summarizing the actions
taken to implement the Source Protection Plan Policies. The specific format
and contents of this report will be determined by the Source Protection
Authority, in consultation with the Townships and the County.
