Norfolk drinking water path

• Source & supply

  Lake Erie

  Local groundwater systems

  County-scale utility with distinct subsystems rather than one plant for the whole municipality.

  Norfolk’s long Lake Erie shoreline makes it a Great Lakes surface-water county, but inland hamlets still sit on wells.

• Treatment

  Norfolk County Lake Erie and well-based systems

  Single-tier Norfolk County operates multiple drinking-water systems including Lake Erie surface plants (e.g. Port Dover / Simcoe area systems) and groundwater systems in inland communities.
