Policy Text:

To ensure that any Consumptive Water Taking never becomes a significant drinking water threat, where this activity would be a significant drinking water threat as prescribed by the CWA, the Township of Centre Wellington shall use the Tier 3 Model and Tier 3 Study results / recommendations in Class Environmental Assessment processes for new or expanded municipal takings, where those new or expanded municipal takings could improve the assigned risk level for the Centre Wellington WHPA-Q. For context, this policy is meant to provide support, through the MECP PTTW processes to ensure the provision and distribution of municipal water supply to support County population and growth forecasts.

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.
