Policy Text:
The municipality shall collect raw water samples quarterly from the Belleville and Picton intakes for monitoring of parameters indicative of landfill leachate. The results are to be compared with the results of the monitoring of any offsite contamination from the former landfill sites to assist in determining if contaminants leaching from the two former landfills are present at the drinking water system intakes.
If it is determined that contaminants are reaching the intake, the municipality shall take the appropriate remedial action to prevent contamination from the former landfill site from reaching the intake and verify that the treatment processes are adequate.
