Draft 2024 Water and Wastewater Master Plan posted

County Council received the Draft 2024 Water and Wastewater Master Plan on July 12, 2023. At Council’s request, the draft plan is being posted for an additional 75-day informal comment period before it moves to the final approval stage.

Under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process for Master Plans, this last stage will include a final 30-day public review period before the document is accepted as the final 2024 Water and Wastewater Master Plan.

The Draft 2024 Water and Wastewater Master Plan identifies the water and wastewater infrastructure needed to accommodate Oxford County’s projected population and employment growth to 2046.

Specifically, it brings forward strategies that identify how and where the County will:

• optimize existing infrastructure;
• explore new well supplies;
• expand water/wastewater treatment plants;
• extend water distribution and wastewater collection systems;
• build additional system redundancy;
• continue to employ water conservation and source water protection; and,
• introduce sewer system inflow and infiltration reduction.
