The Groundwater Protection Workbook was developed to help people in areas without municipal drinking water and sewage services to determine the vulnerability of groundwater on their property. The information, questions and recommendations are based on the Ontario Wells Regulation and supporting Ministry guidance, as well as the Ontario Building Code, supporting resources and regional groundwater studies.
The workbook aims to help you:
- Determine groundwater vulnerability.
- Outline best practices for the operation and maintenance of your well and septic system.
- Specify contact information and additional material for reference.
- Provide well and septic system tracking sheets, as well as a space to keep important records all in one place.
