The Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority (SVCA) and the Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) have partnered together to offer a Water Well Improvement Program.
The NWMO has donated $50,000 to fund water well improvement projects to support landowners in their efforts to protect groundwater.
“SVCA is committed to partnerships which allow the community to contribute to the protection of our shared natural resources; we are grateful for the financial support provided by NWMO so that the Water Well Improvement Program could be created”, said Dan Gieruszak, Chair of the Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority.
The Program launched Monday, with landowners eligible to receive funding retroactively for completed projects. The Program is expected to last to the end of December 2021.
“The NWMO is delighted to partner with the SVCA on this new program, which will help protect and improve water quality throughout the region,” said Cherie Leslie Senior Engagement Advisor, Southern Ontario, with the NWMO. “We are committed to protecting people and the environment, including water resources, and are proud to support important initiative like this.”
Program guidelines and application materials for the Water Well Improvement Program can be found on the SVCA website.
