BERWICK, Ontario - The Township of North Stormont has initiated a Water and Wastewater Master Servicing Plan (MSP) for the future growth in the villages of Crysler, Finch, and Moose Creek. The Township of North Stormont is completing this Water and Wastewater MSP to identify high-level strategies for existing and future water and wastewater servicing in the township.

The preferred servicing strategies will:

  • Support service area growth to 2051 while considering opportunities for operational flexibility and redundancy, as well as for optimization and improvement of the existing systems;
  • Provide resiliency to potential future changes to regulatory and climatic conditions;
  • Balance environmental, social, technical, and economic considerations.

The project is being completed as an Approach No. 1 Master Plan project under the framework of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, amended in 2007, 2011, 2015, & 2023), which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. The study will address the requirements of Phase 1 and part of Phase 2 of the Municipal Class EA process. 

Consultation with the public, indigenous communities, regulator agencies, and stakeholder groups is a key element of a Municipal Class EA study. To facilitate this, a Public Information Centre (PIC) is planned over the course of the study to gather input on potential servicing solutions and provide an opportunity to discuss concerns and issues with the project team. Interested stakeholders are encouraged to bring comments and concerns to the Township at any time during this process.

If you have any questions or comments regarding the study, or wish to be added to the project contact list to receive notices, please contact a member of the project team:
