significant drinking water threat, where this activity is, or would be, a significant
drinking water threat, the Townships, in collaboration with the Conservation
Authorities, where practical, will develop and implement an education and
outreach program. Such a programs may include, but not necessarily be limited

promotion of best management practices.

The Education and Outreach program may consist of targeted mailings to
specific property owners, inserts with current Township mailings, inclusion of
Source Water Protection information in existing education and outreach
programs and/or information available on the Townships’ websites.

implemented and additional details on measures implemented to ensure the
significant drinking water threats cease to be or never become a significant
drinking water threat.
