Policy Text:

To ensure that any Consumptive Water Taking and/or 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 Municipalities shall implement and maintain public education and outreach initiatives regarding water conservation and the use of best management practices that reduce the impact on groundwater recharge. Where possible, these education and outreach initiatives will be coordinated with other Municipalities.

Monitoring Text:

WC-CW-1.9: The Municipality and/or County 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 Municipality and/or 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 additional details on how the significant drinking water threat was managed and/or ceased to be significant.
