Policy Text:

To reduce the risks to drinking water from any existing and/or future significant drinking
water threat, the City of Brantford, in collaboration with Conservation Authorities and other
bodies wherever possible, may develop and implement education and outreach programs
directed at any, or all, significant drinking water threats where such programs are deemed
necessary and/or appropriate by the City. Such programs may include, but not necessarily
be limited to, increasing awareness and understanding of significant drinking water threats
and promotion of best management practices.

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

Monitoring Text:

CB-CW-1.6: The City 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 the City 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.
