Newmarket - Identify. Plan. Educate. These are some of the ways The Regional Municipality of York is protecting municipal drinking water before it reaches your tap.
The 2016 Source Water Implementation Annual Report summarizes work York Region is doing to identify and manage potential impacts to drinking water, and pinpoint vulnerable areas where proposed development requires careful planning to ensure the safety of our drinking water supply.
