Safe Drinking Water Act, 2002

Vaughan has a plan to provide financial sustainability to the City’s water system, and ensure a sustainable, safe and reliable delivery of water services. As required by Ontario Regulation 453/07, water system financial plans for six years or more are developed to ensure financial sustainability and as a condition for obtaining a municipal drinking water licence. Since 2010, the City has submitted its financial plans to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. In 2023, the City developed the 2024 to 2035 Long-Term Drinking Water System Financial Plan (PDF).
