Concerns raised over process to renew local water taking permits

Concerns raised over process to renew local water taking permits

Believing they were misled by the Ministry of Environment, local advocacy group Wellington Water Watchers wants an extension on public input into the current water permit renewal applications for Aberfoyle and Hillsburgh. Triton Water, who purchased the Nestle Waters division earlier this year, has applied for renewals of their water taking permits at the two locations. Arlene Slocombe, executive director of WWW said she met with ministry representatives on April 7, and it was understood that ministry staff would notify WWW when Triton Water Canada Holdings, Inc.’s request to renew the permit to take water would be posted. Permits include a 30 day public consultation period.
