We are pleased to announce that the Ontario government is proposing a nine month extension of the moratorium on water bottling permits, ending October 1, 2020. This extension to the moratorium is being proposed to allow the government “time to complete its analysis of the water quantity review and to publicly consult on and finalize changes to how we manage water takings before the moratorium ends”.
We urge all Ontario residents to post a comment relating to the proposed extension of the moratorium on the Environmental Registry of Ontario at https://ero.ontario.ca/notice/019-0913 and be a part of the push towards more responsible water policy for the sake of protecting groundwater for future generations.
