Notice of Commencement: Water & Wastewater Master Plan

The Master Plan
The Township of Springwater is undertaking a Water and Wastewater Master Plan to evaluate current and future servicing needs. The intent is to capture servicing needs of all the communities across the Township, recognizing each community has its own specific priorities and to develop alternative solutions addressing these needs. The Master Plan will align with the Township’s Official Plan and its mission of supporting development in designated areas, maintaining community characteristics, and preserving natural heritage.

The Process
This Plan will be completed in accordance with the Master Plan modified Approach #2 process as identified in the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) document (amended 2023). The Plan will evaluate alternative solutions and recommend preferred solutions in consultation with the public, Indigenous communities, and agencies. At the conclusion of the Plan, the process will be documented in a report, prepared for public review.

How to Get Involved
Public consultation is a key component of the Class EA process and the Township wants to ensure that anyone interested has the opportunity to get involved and provide input. Public Information Centres are planned for future stages of the Plan to inform the public about the steps involved in this work and to gather feedback on the alternative solutions being considered. Information about future Public Information Centres will be posted on the Township’s website / social media channels and in the local newspaper.
