Project team members will present the draft recommendations for the Water and Wastewater Master Plan based on public feedback from the first round of public consultations held last year. The presentation is a chance to learn more, ask questions, and share your comments. You can also ask a question or submit feedback through the online comment form at www.oxfordcounty.ca/wwwmp. Comments are being taken through this second phase of consultation up to Saturday, August 26, 2023.

The presentation and a video recording of the Public Consultation Centre will be available on Speak Up, Oxford! after the event.

The Water and Wastewater Master Plan focuses on community-specific needs for the 17 drinking water systems and 11 wastewater systems in Oxford County. Some of the proposed projects in the plan include water treatment facility enhancements, wastewater treatment plant expansions, requirements for water storage, and linear infrastructure projects needed for growth.

Oxford County’s communities are growing and so is our water and wastewater infrastructure. Once completed, the Water and Wastewater Master Plan (WWWMP) will set out the long-term water and wastewater servicing strategies that support our existing needs and accommodate future growth in population and employment through the year 2046.

How to have your say

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 are encouraged to provide comments at any time through the master planning process. The first phase of public consultation ran from March to October 19, 2022.

The project is now entering its second phase of public consultation. You can have your say by:
