*I am a resident concerned about the Esbaugh Sand and Gravel PTTW. This is a Category 3 application, which is the highest risk level. I am specifically worried that taking 9.7 million litres of water per day will dry up local wells near monitoring stations K50, K51, and K52. Please deny
this 10-year permit."
It’s mind boggling this permit would even be considered when the Region of Waterloo has stopped development due to lack of water.
The mayor of the Township of Wilmot is now allowing the Region to bypass a 1980 agreement and letting them take MORE water from Wilmot. And now Esbaugh wants to take ANOTHER 9 million litres per day for 10 years?? I thought the Region was experiencing water issues. If Wilmot is already allowing the Region to take more water how is there another 9 million litres per day available?
This would all be a pretty good joke-except it’s true.
When our well goes dry, and we have no water, is the Township, the Region, Esbaugh going to pay to truck water into our wells every day?
How could we even sell our property if there is no access to drinkable water?
Taking more water from an already compromised area is so absolutely wrong on every level.
If this permit is allowed to go through, and our well goes dry and we do not have access to water? Expect a lawsuit.
