Water Protected Areas

It is illegal for anyone to enter a water protected area, but yet we are still having people doing so.  The gate leading to the reservoir was beat down again a couple weeks ago, this is the fourth time we have had to do repairs to the gate.  The public, council, and the Department of Environment are responsible for monitoring and protecting our water supply area in accordance with the Water Resource Act.  Together, we have to ensure the security of having a healthly water supply.  If you have any information regarding this, please contact the council office. 

To put cameras in the watershed area will cost more than $2,000.00 but we are left with no choice but to do so.
