Comment
I am writing to strongly urge you to refuse the current application to take water in Wilmot Township and put an immediate moratorium on all new or expanded industrial and commercial water-taking in this region.
Waterloo Region has already stated that it cannot safely and sustainably meet water demand for existing residents in the Waterloo Region. Groundwater makes up 75-80 % of drinking water in this area. Summer are becoming hotter and drier and there are significant concerns that there will not be safe, sufficient drinking water for people in this area. It is irresponsible of the Ministry of Environment to consider approving this application.
