Policy Text:

To ensure that any drinking water threat in the vicinity of a transport pathway ceases to be or will not become a significant drinking water threat; or that a transport pathway ceases to endanger the raw water supply of a drinking water system, municipalities shall give due consideration to including in their official plan a provision regarding the servicing of new lots in a WHPA-A or WHPA-B vulnerable area (future activity).

The provision would:

apply to WHPA-A and WHPA-B where the vulnerability score is 10; and apply to new lots created either through severance or subdivision; and
stipulate that new lots are only permitted where the property will be connected to a municipal water system

Monitoring policies MP-13 and MP-22 apply.
