Water System and Private Wells

The Township of East Garafraxa is proud to present the Annual Reports for the Marsville Water System for 2024. The reports summarize the source of your water supply, the treatment process and the results for hundreds of parameters tested during the quarter including any "Adverse Water Notifications" issued during the reporting period.

On March 11, 2025 the Council of the Township of East Garafraxa approved the Marsville Subdivision Drinking Water System Financial Plan dated February 26, 2025, pursuant to the Safe Drinking Water Act, 2002 (O. Reg. 453/07, section 3 (1) 1.).

The plan was prepared as part of the five submission requirements for the purpose of obtaining a municipal drinking water license as per the Safe Drinking Water Act, 2002. In general, a financial plan requires an in-depth analysis of capital and operating needs, a review of current and future demand versus supply, and consideration of available funding sources. The detailed financial planning and forecasting regarding the Township’s water systems has been completed based on these factors. The objective of the report provided herein is to meet the requirements for a financial plan as defined by Ontario Regulation 453/07 (O. Reg. 453/07). 

The financial plan includes a 9% annual increase to the flat rate starting in 2026 and continuing through 2030.

S. Burnett & Associates Limited was retained by the Township to provide Engineering Services for a Condition Assessment Study for the Marsville Subdivision Drinking Water System (DWS).  The scope of the project was to assess the current conditions of the existing components in the DWS.  The report focuses on the condition of the existing assets and necessary re-capitalization required to extend the life of the current asset.
