Click Here to review a copy of the Essex Region Proposed Assessment Report

The posting of the Proposed Assessment Report is an important step in developing a drinking water source protection plan for the Essex Region Source Protection Area. The Report includes:

  • The identification of vulnerable areas associated with municipal drinking water sources
  • The types of activities which would be considered threats in those vulnerable areas
  • Any water quality issues associated with the raw (untreated) water to municipal drinking water system which could be addressed through source protection planning
  • A water budget which assesses area where the quantity of water available for the municipal drinking water source may be stressed
  • General background material which might be useful in developing a Source Protection Plan
