For all municipalities where a Wellhead Protection Area or an Intake Protection Zone
occurs in their jurisdiction and where activities are or would be significant drinking
water threats , it is recommended that the Municipality:

A. update their Emergency Response Plans to include:
1. maps to show the location of municipal drinking water systems and
associated Wellhead Protection Areas and Intake Protection Zones
2. emergency contact numbers and protocols for the respective water
treatment plant operating authority
3. spill contingency measures to prevent contamination of the drinking water
source
4. containment measures for water or chemicals used to deal with an
emergency (including fire suppressants)
B. ensure that local first responders have information about Wellhead Protection
Areas or Intake Protection Zones as the case may be.

Municipalities are strongly encouraged to implement these measures within one
year of the effective date of the Source Protection Plan.

Monitoring policy MP-26 applies.

MP-26: Municipalities should, within a reasonable timeframe after undertaking the suggested changes to the emergency response plan, provide a written summary to
the Source Protection Authority.
