Kaslo Source Water Protection Plan

The primary intent of this non-structural project is to meet regulatory requirements for source protection and begin the process for regulatory permit approval. The Source Protection Plan will identify areas and activities that could affect the quality, quantity and timing of flow of Kaslo's drinking water source. By identifying critical areas and activities, the Village can influence planning and measure impacts on their water system. Additionally, the plan aims to reduce threats to water quality and be a tool for drinking water protection as per the DWP Act Section 18(2)(a) and the Comprehensive Drinking Water Source-to-Tap Assessment Guideline (CS2TA). The Project will include an HRVA analysis and mapping of the Kemp Creek watershed, intake infrastructures, reservoir, pipes and water treatment plant. Indigenous consultation will be encouraged through participation a technical advisory committee of stakeholders.
