Purpose

Oxford County has initiated the development of a Water and Wastewater Master Plan (W/WW MP) to provide the County with strategic long-term water and wastewater servicing strategies to support existing servicing needs and accommodate further projected population and employment growth to the year 2046.

 

Scope

The W/WW MP is a long-term strategic planning document that lays out the County’s vision and goals for its water and wastewater systems to 2046. The W/WW MP is being conducted in accordance with the Master Plan requirements of Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2000, as amended in 2007, 2011 & 2015), approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.

 

We want to hear from you

Public participation and feedback is an important part of identifying the servicing needs and priorities of communities throughout Oxford County. All of Oxford’s residents and businesses were encouraged to provide comments through the master planning process.

A first phase of public consultation ran from March to October 19, 2022, and a second phase began in June 2023 with the online Public Consultation Centre #2. Watch the video recording | Download the presentation slides
