Goderich Drinking Water Quality Management System- Master Operational Plan/QMS Manual

 

 What is drinking water source protection?

 Source water is the raw, untreated water that we take from lakes, rivers and underground aquifers to supply people with drinking water. “Drinking Water Source Protection” or “Source Water Protection” means protecting these sources of drinking water from contamination and overuse. The focus is on prevention!

 Where does the Goderich drinking water come from?

The Goderich water supply is drawn from Lake Huron. The area 1 km around the intake is called the Intake Protection Zone- 1 or IPZ -1 and where the water takes 2 hours to reach the intake is IPZ-2. These areas are where the municipal water supply is most vulnerable. If you see a spill call the Spills Action Centre at 800-268-6060.    

   

The Need for Drinking Water Source Protection

   
  • The Clean Water Act, 2006. Its purpose is to protect existing and     future sources of drinking water by a multi-barrier approach.
  • Water treatment is not always enough. Water treatment systems do not remove all contaminants from water,     particularly chemicals such as fuels and solvents. The safest approach is     to prevent contamination.
  • Prevention saves money.  It     is much cheaper to keep water clean than it is to try and remove     contaminants.
  • Other benefits. Clean and plentiful water also supports     tourism, recreation, business development and fish and wildlife habitat -     all of which are important to our local economies.
  • Source Protection Plans.  Developed by a local committee, these took     effect on April 1st, 2015, to ensure storage of fuel, chemicals     or waste as well as agricultural activities close to municipal water     supplies do not cause contamination to the drinking water.
