Notice of Completion: Water and Wastewater Master Plan

The Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville has prepared a Water and Wastewater Master Plan Update (WWWMP) following Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) process. The Master Plan was initiated in 2022 and followed Approach #1 of the master planning process. The Master Plan identifies the recommended water and wastewater infrastructure needs and servicing strategies to support future growth to 2051.

While the Master Plan generally addresses Phase 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class EA, additional investigations will be carried out at a later date and published to meet Schedule B or C project Class EA requirements or approvals through the Planning Act.
