Oxford County Will Create One Data System for Source Protection Plans

One data system will service all four source protection plans in Oxford County in the hopes of saving some money.

Oxford County council has agreed to develop a data storage and management system for the source water protection plans in Oxford. 

Warden David Mayberry says we have four watersheds in Oxford and the new system will have one management system for all four.

"Trying to have a collaborative software program that a wide variety of municipalities and CA's could use so that rather than each of us producing our own a group of us got together and said let's produce one that we can all use and it will reduce our cost." 

The County will be required to complete annual reporting on water protection efforts starting on July 1st of this year. It is going to cost Oxford $34 250 to set up the database and that money will come out of the 2016 Source Water Protection Operating Budget.
