  • Water capacity constraint confirmed; Region of Waterloo adopting revised water supply methodology

    Waterloo Region – Using a revised methodology to calculate remaining water supply capacity for development and protecting operational sustainability, the Region has confirmed a constraint in the Mannheim Service Area. This revised methodology is better suited to a groundwater-based system and more accurately reflects the actual capacity available in the Region’s water system today.

  • Water capacity issue identified; no impact to water quality

    Waterloo Region – Through on-going work and updates to the Water Supply Strategy, a water capacity issue has been identified within the Mannheim Service Area, which supplies water to Kitchener, Waterloo, and parts of Cambridge, Woolwich, and Wilmot. While water monitoring reports have consistently shown significant capacity, a combination of factors, including aging infrastructure, lower levels of water in the system, and the pressures of rapid growth, are impacting water supply capacity.
