Oxford is pitching in funds to help complete a pair of Source Water Protection Technical Studies in the County. The money will be used in the the completion of Issue Delineation Studies in the Tillsonburg North Street wellfield and the Woodstock Thornton and Tabor wellfields. These studies are for technical work that is required under the Clean Water Act. Director of Public Works Rob Walton says "Funding in this, both provided through the conservation authorities will fund most of the cost but we had budgeted for this in our County budget for 2013 and still we will have to kick in about $20,000 to top up the money to finish these studies." Both wellfields were identified in early studies as having nitrate issues which could exceed the Ontario Drinking Water Standards. If any new significant threats are identified, the Source Protection Plan policies will provide tools to manage the risk to the wells from activities associated with the release of nitrates to groundwater.
