A clean glass of water starts long before you turn on the tap.

The Lakes Simcoe and Couchiching/Black River, Nottawasaga Valley and Severn Sound Source Protection Authorities oversee activities in the South Georgian Bay Lake Simcoe Region that directly affect the quality and quantity of our municipal drinking water sources.

Protecting drinking water is a team effort, a collaboration between Source Protection Authorities, municipalities and communities, the province, and YOU.

Using a multi-barrier approach, these agencies work together to safeguard the sources of drinking water we depend on. Here is a video where experts, volunteers and water protectors share their experiences and stories, and reflect on 25 years of source water protection in Ontario.
