About the study
The Village of Tavistock currently receives water services from three wells located within the centre of the Village, near Queen’s Park. The Study will:
- define needs;
- identify and evaluate alternative solutions; and,
- develop a preferred design and location for a new well supply in consultation with adjacent property owners, regulatory agencies, Indigenous communities, the local business community and the public.
The Class EA Study is being planned in accordance with the planning and design process for Schedule C projects as outlined in the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Document (2000, as amended 2007, 2011, 2015), which is an approved process under Ontario’s Environmental Assessment Act.
Comments received during the study will be considered and documented in the Environmental Study Report.
