If you have any questions or comments please contact us.
Members of the public are invited to comment on the proposed updates to the CTC Source Protection Plan. The source protection program is designed with continuous improvements in mind. Amendments are being proposed to the CTC Source Protection Plan and Credit Valley SPA Assessment Report to include updates to the Town of Erin Drinking Water System.
The current drinking water supply for the Erin Drinking Water System is sourced from groundwater, supplied through two municipal wells PW E7 and PW E8. To address existing water demands and future growth projections, the Town of Erin has proposed to add a new well (E9) to their drinking water system. This proposed supply well is located north of Sideroad 17 on Wellington County Road 23 (9th Line), within the West Credit River subwatershed in the Credit River Watershed. This has resulted in new Well Head Protection Areas within the Town of Erin.
The proposed amended CTC Source Protection Plan can be found here:
