Lakehead Drinking Water Protection Plan Announced

The Lakehead Source Protection Committee is the first to come forward with a plan to protect drinking water. Lake Superior provides drinking water for over 100,000 people in the Thunder Bay area. Two groundwater wells serve 30 homes in Rosslyn Village. M.P.P. Michael Gravelle says "Ensuring that residents have access to clean sources of drinking water is vital to our quality of life." 36 other provincial source areas are trying to develop their own plans as a response to the Walkerton tragedy.
