Public Consultation Proposed Assessment Report
Monday, Mar. 29, 2010
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. Included in the Source Protection Area are the municipal water systems of Windsor (A.H. Weeks WTP), Amherstburg, Belle River, Essex (Harrow-Colchester WTP), Pelee Island, Stoney Point, Union WTP (Ruthven), and Wheatley.
The Proposed Assessment 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
- 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 areas where the quantity of water available may be stressed
- General background material which might be useful in the upcoming development of the Source Protection Plan
The Assessment Report is available at:

- Essex Region Conservation Authority, 360 Fairview Avenue, Suite 311, Essex (8:30am to 4:30pm)
- Or a CD can be mailed to you
