Bulletin details
The Clean Water Act (CWA) supports communities in protecting their drinking water sources from contamination and depletion. It does this through the creation of collaborative, science-based, watershed protection plans that are locally driven and focused on prevention.
The changes to the CTC Source Protection Plan, including the Credit Valley Source Protection Area Assessment Report include:
- a new municipal drinking water well for the Erin Drinking Water System
- updates to the protection zones surrounding the Erin Drinking Water System
- technical and administrative changes to keep the plan up to date with the technical rules under the Clean Water Act, 2006
- the identification of the significant drinking water threat activities for the Erin Drinking Water System to account for the newly identified protection zones
The Credit Valley Source Protection Authority conducted public consultations from December 04, 2024, to January 22, 2025. In accordance with the Clean Water Act, 2006, feedback was sought from:
- implementing bodies, including provincial government ministries and local municipalities
- members of the public and affected landowners
The source protection authority considered and addressed all comments before submitting the proposed changes for approval. No other comments were received.
The minister has concluded that the comments received during consultation on the CTC Source Protection Plan, including the Credit Valley Source Protection Area Assessment Report, have been adequately considered and addressed, and that the legislative and regulatory requirements under the Clean Water Act, 2006 relating to the amendments have been met.
These amendments take effect upon this posting of the minister’s approval on the Environmental Registry of Ontario. The approved amendments to the CTC Source Protection Plan and Credit Valley Assessment Report are available on the CTC Source Protection Region’s website.
