December 4, 2024– Amendments are being proposed to the Credit Valley – Toronto and Region – Central Lake Ontario (CTC) Source Protection Plan to include updates to the Erin Drinking Water System. The public are invited to provide comments in writing up to 5 p.m. on January 22, 2025.
The current drinking water supply for the Erin Drinking Water System is sourced from groundwater, supplied through two municipal wells. To address existing water demands and future growth projections, the Town of Erin has proposed adding a new well to their drinking water system. This has resulted in new wellhead protection areas within the Town of Erin.
The proposed amended CTC Source Protection Plan can be found at ctcswp.ca. Hardcopy versions are available at the following location during regular business hours:
- Credit Valley Conservation: 1255 Old Derry Road, Mississauga ON
- Town of Erin: 5684 Trafalgar Road, Hillsburgh, ON
