Ward Boundary Review 

The Township is completing a ward boundary review to ensure that electoral wards are balanced and provide residents with equitable and responsive representation.

The primary purpose of a ward boundary review is to ensure fair and effective representation for all residents within a municipality. By periodically reviewing and, if necessary, adjusting ward boundaries, the municipality aims to achieve a more balanced distribution of population among wards. This helps to ensure that each councillor represents a similar number of constituents, thus promoting equitable representation and responsiveness to community needs.

Springwater residents are invited to learn about ward boundaries and contribute their thoughts and considerations to the ward boundary review process. The first of two rounds of public engagement took place in June 2024; a second round will take place in the fall.

Water & Wastewater Master Plan

The Township of Springwater is undertaking a Water and Wastewater Master Plan to evaluate current and future servicing needs. The 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.

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.
