Landowners across the Saugeen, Grey Sauble, Northern Bruce Peninsula Source Protection Region completed significant stewardship projects, and received grants worth more than $1 million, between 2007 and 2013. They did this with support of financial incentives from the Ontario Drinking Water Stewardship Program (ODWSP). These positive actions by property owners to protect municipal drinking water sources, namely municipal wellheads and municipal surface water intakes were voluntary.
We thank all the property owners, business people, residents, and others who have completed projects and changed management practices to reduce risk to local municipal drinking water sources.
There are no ODWSP grants available in this region at this time. However, there may be grants and incentive funds through other federal, provincial, county, and other programs.
