The GRCA says the clock is ticking for rural land owners to take advantage of a grant designed to protect water. Money is available until the end of this year under the Ontario Drinking Water Stewardship Early Response Program. The program provides money for: Upgrading private wells or decommissioning unused wells ? 80 per cent to a maximum of $4,000. Septic system maintenance or replacement ? 80 per cent of the cost up to $7,000 for a conventional system or $15,000 for an advanced system The GRCA says old well and septic system leaks can cause serious contamination in municipal wells. The money is available through the Ontario Drinking Water Stewardship Program which is administered by the Grand River Conservation Authority. The money is provided by the Ministry of the Environment as part of implementation of the Clean Water Act. Funding is limited so not all applications will be approved. For more information, contact Jenn Deter, Conservation Specialist with the GRCA at jdeter@grandriver.ca or 519-621-2761, Ext. 2268.
