To ensure that any Existing onsite sewage works cease to be significant drinking water threats, where these activities are significant drinking water threats, the City of Hamilton, in collaboration with the Conservation Authority, is requested to continue and broaden education and outreach programs to increase awareness about best practices to protect drinking water sources.

The programs should inform landowners about the proper disposal of toxic chemicals, the operation and maintenance of sewage systems, and the benefits of installing effluent filters, performing tank inspections, and having tanks regularly pumped out.
