Drinking Water Source Protection Program works to prevent the contamination of our municipal drinking water sources in the Greater Sudbury area including Ramsey Lake, the Vemilion River, Wanapitei River and 24 municipal wells in the Greater Sudbury Source Protection Area.
It is the process followed by the Source Protection Committee to:
assess the current conditions and threats to our municipal drinking water sources;
undertake a threats inventory and look at land-use planning to assess the current condition and threats to our municipal drinking water;
Prepare a source protection plan to take actions to prevent and minimize existing threats/impacts to our municipal drinking water sources.
Water affects all aspects of our lives and protecting our sources ensures that there is enough clean water for both our current and future uses in our community.
Together, let's take the necessary measures to protect our municipal water sources today!
