The Holland Marsh Drainage System Joint Municipal Service Board was formed in 2007 in joint partnership with the Township of King and Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury with the mission to maintain and manage the Holland Marsh drainage system, to plan any future development for the Holland Marsh and tackle any possible environmental issues.
In 2013, authority for the control and management of all municipal drains within the geographic boundaries of the Township of King and the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury which lie outside the boundary of the Holland Marsh Drainage System, were delegated to the Board.
