Notice of Public Consultation Center #1

New Well Supply - Village of Tavistock

Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study

Oxford County has initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Study to explore potential opportunities for a new well supply to improve the security and supply of drinking water for the community.

What is the New Well Supply 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.
Information will be collected in accordance with the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. With the exception of personal information, all comments will become part of the public record.

We want to hear from you

Consultation with stakeholders is a key component of the study process, and input will be sought throughout the study.
A virtual Public Consultation Centre (PCC1) is being held to provide background regarding the project, review the list of alternative solutions, and seek input on the evaluation and the preliminary preferred alternative.
