Tavistock wasterwater treatment plant Class EA

Oxford County is undertaking a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Study to explore options for expanding the Tavistock Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) in the Village of Tavistock in the Township of East Zorra-Tavistock.

The study's purpose is to identify the most cost-effective, environmentally sound, and sustainable approach to providing wastewater treatment capacity at the existing plant to service the existing sewage flows as well as future growth in Tavistock.

This study is being carried out in accordance with the requirements of Schedule C of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2024), approved under Ontario's Environmental Assessment Act.
