 Your Source Protection Region What is Source Water? Source water is the raw water that we take from lakes, rivers or underground aquifers to supply people with drinking water. The goal of Source Water Protection is to protect these sources of drinking water from contamination and overuse, now and into the future. The Ontario Clean Water Act (Bill 43) requires municipalities and stakeholders to work together to develop watershed-based Source Protection Plans. These plans will focus on protecting the source water that supplies municipal drinking water systems.
