2) Harmonize the program with any existing education and outreach programs and share with other municipalities where this would increase efficiency and reduce cost;
3) Consult and collaborate with Ontario Ministries, Health Units and Conservation Authorities (or other agencies) to assist with the development and delivery of the education and outreach program where possible;
4) Promote best management practices and voluntary action to protect sources of drinking water; and
