As part of the current PTTW review and decision making process, the ministry uses best available science to assess the sustainability and potential impacts to municipal drinking water systems, other users, and the environment. The ministry considers relevant Source Protection policies as part of the application evaluation and review process and, where appropriate, includes conditions for new/increased permits that would constitute SDWTs to ensure protection of municipal water supplies.

Policy Text:

To ensure that any Consumptive Water Taking and/or any Recharge Reducing Activities cease to be or never become significant drinking water threats, where these activities are or would be significant drinking water threats as prescribed by the CWA, the MECP should mutually share information with the GRCA, the Municipalities and the County, to collaboratively manage water resources within the Centre Wellington WHPA-Q. This may include, but is not limited to, the sharing of data, use, and/or management of the Tier 3 Model; and/or discussion related to Consumptive Water Takings, areas of recharge reduction and/or actions taken by the parties.
