Dear Mr. Horgan:
Knowing of your interest and dedication to quality drinking water supplies and watershed protection, I am writing today to encourage you to do everything you can to assist SEAS and our local community to protect our water.
I understand that the Province has undertaken a review of the Drinking Water Act and fully support your efforts to ensure it is strengthened to protect our watershed and our water sources.

Dear Mr. Hicks:
I am writing today to ask that you help SEAS and our local community better protect our drinking water supply and our watershed.
The local JdFEA planning office does not do enough to notify, inform and or educate our community about subdivision or other development plans in time for SEAS or me to make informed decisions about their effect on water supply, water quality or the impact on our watershed.
I am very concerned about the subdivisions or developments approved by the Province or the local planning office that have no review regarding the effect of such projects on my water, the community watershed or local water systems.
Please help SEAS and our community do more to protect our drinking water supply and watershed.
Thank you.
