Puslinch councillors raise concerns about Tier 3 water study for Guelph
by Mike Robinson.
Council members here are concerned township interests are not being addressed in Guelph’s Tier 3 water supply study – even though over 50% of the city’s supply comes from Puslinch.
Discussion flowed from the Oct. 19 update by Martin Keller, source protection program manager for the Lake Erie source projection region, working through the Grand River Conservation Area, regarding the update of the city of Guelph and Guelph-Eramosa Township Water Systems Tier 3 Water Budget and Risk Assessment.
Keller explained the Clean Water Act dates back to 2006 and establishes a tiered approach to assessing current and future water quantity risks to municipal drinking water.
