This site was created, at the request of the Ausable Bayfield Maitland Valley Drinking Water Source Protection Committee (SPC), to share, with the public, the content that was created (2005-2007) for the multi-stakeholder community working groups in the region.
Those community working groups (six of them throughout the region plus a sub-committee of municipal representatives) devoted a year to learning about protection of local municipal drinking water sources and developing recommendations for the source protection committee.
