Communities in Waterloo,…

Communities in Waterloo, Woolwich, Wilmot and parts of Cambridge (the Mannheim Service Area) face an immediate crisis—a manmade water shortage. In response, the Region of Waterloo put a freeze on new development until it can safely and sustainably meet water demand.

The province must deny Esbaugh Sand & Gravel LTD's new permit to take water (and block any others) until the region has time to solve this crisis. The province must also assist in creating a path forward that safeguards freshwater supplies.
