    Water

    Healthy and protected water is a main element that attracts new residents to the area and it is a source of pride to those who live in the Frontenacs. Watershed management, stewardship and appreciation are also commonly identified as elements which should be a core component of the Frontenac sustainability plan.

    Vision Statement

    Residents of the County of Frontenac have access to clean water. Water use is conserved and high demand applications are carefully monitored. Waste water and storm water are managed using local, low energy systems that have a net positive impact on the natural environment. Potable water provision, storm water management and flood control measures are designed to maintain the integrity of watersheds, including streams, rivers, lakes, riparian areas and wetlands.
