The North Bay-Mattawa Source Protection Authority is an oversight body for the local Drinking Water Source Protection process.
The North Bay-Mattawa Source Protection Authority (SPA) coordinated the development of the Source Protection Plan (SP Plan) to protect the sources of five municipal drinking water systems in our watershed: Callander, Mattawa, North Bay, Powassan and South River.
The SPA is comprised of elected representatives from each of the member municipalities, including those from the Conservation Authority Members (Board of Directors) and some from municipalities that are only within the Source Protection Area. The SPA is tasked with selecting or approving members to sit on the Source Protection Committee, and reviewing and receiving comments on updates to the Assessment Report and Source Protection Plan.
