Municipal Newsletter Submission - November 2009
The website – www.sourceprotection.net – has been updated to provide a thorough resource on the process to develop a Source Protection Plan for the Lakehead Source Protection Area.
The website provides the public with easy access to view technical reports and studies that address water quality and water quantity for the sources of water for the municipal systems that serve the City of Thunder Bay and Rosslyn Village in the Municipality of Oliver Paipoonge. Brochures, fact sheets and other information produced to explain our local process are posted on the website along with links to the development of Source Protection Plans in other regions and areas across the province.
The website is a requirement for public consultation as directed by Regulation of the “Clean Water Act” to provide an opportunity for the public to review and comment on documents produced as part of the planning process. The Lakehead Source Protection Committee is working to complete the “Draft Proposed Assessment Report” which is expected to be posted for public review in early 2010. Also, watch for Open Houses as part of the public consultation process in early 2010.
Learn more about source protection planning for our region by visiting www.sourceprotection.net.
The eight Member Municipalities with representatives on the Lakehead Source Protection Authority are sent monthly updates on the Source Protection Planning process to publish in their Municipal Newsletters.
