To ensure any existing and future activity that takes water from an aquifer
without returning the water to the same aquifer or that reduces the recharge of
an aquifer ceases to be and/or never becomes a significant drinking water
threat, where the activity is, or would be, a significant drinking water threat in
WHPA-Q1 or WHPA-Q2, the Townships, with support from the Grand River
Conservation Authority, will develop and implement an education and outreach
programs to make property owners and businesses aware of the following within
t WHPA-Q1 and WHPA-Q2:

c. The importance of the creation of a water conservation plan to reduce
water consumption; and
d. The financial incentive programs and projects for which they could be
eligible under future funding of the Ontario Drinking Water Stewardship
Program.

DC-AEG-CW-1.8: Where the Townships are required to implement education and outreach
programs as the primary means of managing the risk associated with
significant drinking water threats, the Townships shall provide a report to the
Source Protection Authority by February 1st of each year. This report must
indicate, at a minimum, the properties where these programs were
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.
