Policy Text:
To ensure that the future handling and storage of road salt never becomes a
significant drinking water threat within the vulnerable areas, where this activity
would be a significant drinking water threat, the City of Guelph shall establish or
enhance the education and outreach programs for the private and public sector, as
well as the general public, about the impacts of road salt on drinking water sources
and the use of best management practices. It is recommended that the key
messages be the efficient use of road salts and the use of alternatives.
