2.5: Water Conservation

Improve water conservation and efficiency in small community water and wastewater systems.

Other Information:

To help small rural and northern communities receive clean, safe and affordable water and wastewater services, Ontario has introduced the third phase of the Ontario Small Waterworks Assistance Program (OSWAP-3). OSWAP-3 will provide $50 million in capital funding over four years so small communities can improve water conservation and efficiency in their water and wastewater systems. Municipalities and Local Services Boards that own residential drinking water or wastewater systems servicing 5,000 and fewer residents are eligible to apply for funding. The program will result in a total investment of up to $75 million, based on a cost-sharing formula of two-thirds provincial funding and one-third municipal funding.
