Water Supply Master Plan

Water Supply Master Plan update (2019)

The City of Guelph is updating the 2014 Water Supply Master Plan to review our water supply sources and identify priorities, including sustainable municipal water supply options, from now until 2051.

How you can have your say

Your feedback is an important part of the Master Plan update process.

Here’s how you can have your say:

Background and process

Today, our existing water supply fulfills the City’s commitment to provide a safe and reliable supply of water. The updated Master Plan will provide short-term, mid-term and long-term water supply options to ensure we can continue to meet the demands of Guelph’s growing population. When investigating existing and new water supply options – like new groundwater sources in and outside of Guelph and local surface water sources – we’ll consider things like water quality and quantity, climatic conditions, economic factors and any relevant regulations.

Once the Master Plan update is reviewed by the Guelph community and approved by Council – we’ll have identified constraints and opportunities related to our existing water supply system. We’ll also have evaluated and prioritized individual projects to increase the capacity of our existing system.
