Policy Text:
The municipality is strongly encouraged to purchase, install and maintain signs designed by the Ministry of Transportation in collaboration with the Source Protection Authorities to identify the locations of Wellhead Protection Areas and Intake Protection Zones. These signs should be placed, at a minimum, where municipal arterial roads are located within a Wellhead Protection Area with a vulnerability score of 10 and/or an Intake Protection Zone with a vulnerability score of 8 or higher (appropriate sign locations will ultimately be determined based on site-specific factors such as the size of the area scored 10). This policy should be initiated within two years of the Source Protection Plan taking effect.
