Public comments invited on updates to the Drinking Water Source Protection Plan for the Grand River watershed

Members of the public are invited to read and comment on the proposed updates to the Drinking Water Source Protection Plan for the Grand River watershed. The Plan has been prepared under the Clean Water Act, 2006 to protect municipal sources of drinking water and ensure their sustainable use into the future.

The Source Protection Program is designed with continuous improvements in mind. The proposed updates to the Grand River Source Protection Plan incorporate new technical information and revised policies for the City of Brantford and the County of Brant Drinking Water Systems, including addition of a Sodium and Chloride Issue Contributing Area at the Bethel Road wellfield in Paris. Policies for both the City and County have also been updated to conform with the 2021 Technical Rules for identifying drinking water threats.
