Guelph, Ont., October 29, 2025 – Guelph’s population is growing and the City of Guelph is studying whether our local water resources can meet expected demand, particularly in northeast area of Guelph.
A Municipal Class Environmental Assessment will evaluate longer term water supply capacity in the northeast area of Guelph. This includes studying ways to increase groundwater supply and ensure a reliable water source, including the potential for development of a well in the Logan and Flemming Test Wells area. This work is crucial because the City predicts a water shortage of 12,000 m³/day by 2051 due to climate change.
