WATER AND WASTEWATER MASTER PLAN (W/WW MP) Oxford County communities are growing and so is our water and wastewater infrastructure! • Supplying safe drinking water and effectively treating wastewater directly impacts the health of our community and the environment. • The W/WW MP will outline long-term water and wastewater servicing strategies to support existing needs and accommodate future growth in population and employment through to the year 2046. • Ensuring that the infrastructure improvements we make today will support the long-term growth and goals.
