Policy Text:

Within one year of the Source Protection Plan taking effect, the municipality is strongly encouraged to initiate an education and outreach program targeted at local fuel distributors, sewage haulers, lawn care companies and other businesses that transport potential drinking water contaminants in Wellhead Protection Areas and Intake Protection Zones with a vulnerability score of 8 or higher. The Source Protection Authority will assist with the identification of potential businesses and the development of educational materials. To the extent feasible, this initiative should use existing training opportunities offered within these sectors to promote:

Awareness of vulnerable areas (will be marked by road and waterway signs)
Spill prevention (emphasizing the importance of adhering to existing spill prevention guidelines when operating in vulnerable drinking water areas)
Spill response (emphasizing the importance of adhering to or learning procedures to follow in the event of a spill in a vulnerable drinking water area)
