Puslinch has too many…

Puslinch has too many competing interests seeking groundwater from farms, residents, gravel pits, and businesses. In addition both Guelph and Cambridge are approaching with their Source Water Protection Areas. The priorities set in the new regulations place municipal drinking water, agriculture and the environment above commercial water bottling. This is the clear example of these competing interests. This very short comment period does not allow for proper responses from any of these competing interests.

There are also too many uncertainties to proceed with a renewal at this point. This is a new owner with new expectations. It is also groundwater we know too little about like rate of recharge, effects of climate change, population growth in the surrounding area, and sustainability.
It would be irresponsible to grant a permit quickly without a fulsome investigation into the repercussions.
