Policy Text:

To ensure Existing or Future onsite sewage systems and onsite holding tanks with a design flow of less than or equal to 10,000 Litres per day and subject to approval under the Ontario Building Code Act or the Ontario Water Resources Act cease to be or never become a significant drinking water threat, where this activity is or would be a significant drinking water threat, the municipality shall develop and implement an education initiative about small onsite sewage systems and holding tanks. The education program shall encourage the use of beneficial management practices that reduce the impact on groundwater.

Monitoring Text:

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.
