This project aims to understand knowledge regarding private well water use and stewardship, with the aim to develop a knowledge-based tool intended for use by private well owners, including cottage owners.

Yes, spring really is here now, and it’s that time of year when TSW fills up all the reservoir lakes, including Drag and Spruce.

It is well worth while keeping an eye on what’s happening – there can be significant impacts on shoreline infrastructure.
