We’re updating the 2012 Stormwater Management Master Plan to ensure stormwater (rainwater) is sustainably managed in a way that helps protect Guelph’s water supply and environment.
The master plan looks at how the City is currently managing stormwater and guides how we will continue to do so now until 2051. It will take into account:
- Government legislation.
- Technological advances and infrastructure needs.
- Address issues we face today like flood control, maintaining the quality of our local waterways (rivers, lakes and streams) and drinking water supply (groundwater), and the overall environment.

The process
The Master Plan will be carried out according to the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2015, as amended), which is an approved Class of Environmental Assessment under the Environmental Assessment Act. Results from this Master Plan will be documented in an environmental assessment that will be made available for public review. At that time, residents, businesses, Indigenous communities and other interested persons or groups will be informed of when and where the environmental assessment can be reviewed.
