Brown quits CAO job
By Scott Nixon
TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF
SOUTH HURON — The Municipality of South Huron is looking for a new
chief administrative officer.
Current CAO Larry Brown, who has been with South Huron since 2000,
has decided to leave his post with the municipality to become the chair-
person of the Ausable Bayfield Maitland Valley Drinking Water Source
Protection Committee. He is tentatively scheduled to leave his CAO job at
the end of September, when he goes to Toronto for training for his new
job. Brown will remain a South Huron resident, living outside Grand
Bend.
The Source Protection Committee (SPC) will oversee the planning
process to establish programs and policies that will protect local munici-
pal drinking water sources. There are 19 such committees across
Ontario, Brown said, and the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority
will lead local efforts. While Brown has been appointed chairperson, the
rest of the committee hasn't yet been chosen. Brown was chosen for his
new job by Minister of the Environment Laurel Broten.
"We'll go through a process of assessing the water resources in the
area," Brown says, "and then do an analysis of the risks to those
resources and then come up with a plan as to how to protect those
resources."
Brown points out the regulations will be for the protection of municipal
water and at this point don't involve private property. The regulations fall
under the 2006 Clean Water Act. Once regulations are developed, it will
be municipal councils passing and enforcing them.
Brown said while by the end of this year Exeter will no longer be sup-
plied by municipal wells (because of the new Lake Huron water pipeline),
