I'm ok with the cities managing it, I don't see why the province has to get involved and require a separate public corporation along with allowing the Minister to force cities to do things a certain way.

At a time when the economy is strained and everyday people are stretched thin and maybe not paying attention, Premier Ford is moving ahead with major changes to how water and wastewater services are delivered. This deserves everyone's attention.

STOP PRIVATIZING PUBLIC WORKS BUILT WITH TAXPAYER MONEY. This is a terrible idea and a failure of the ontario government by taking public funds and subsidizing private ventures!!!!!!!!!
The 407 was a massive debacle we are all paying the price for while Mike Haaris laughs at us.

This amendment makes Peel Region the first regional government to transfer responsibility of water and wastewater to the lower tier governments.

I cannot see a savings doing all of this... looks like a lateral move.
Maybe we should be looking at amalgamation of the three cities and become the city of "Peel".

As a resident of Hamilton, Ontario, I urge the Province to keep water and wastewater systems under full public control, not under the authority of corporate boards as proposed in ERO 025-1098 and Bill 60.

As far as costs are concerned...only those that get water and sewage services must pay
. Don't tax every one especially rural owners on wells and septic systems

No. That whole bill reminds me of Trump's big beautiful Bill and Ford has hidden all kinds of things in it. He is a crook. I say no to the whole entire bill. Stop meddling in the Affairs of municipalities.
downloading water and waste water is foolish! This will cost the tax payer more money in the long run! Look at hydro! the rates keep going up and up, there is no responsibility to the tax payer. Right now the REgion of Peel has the most reasonable rates for water in Ontario!

I don't understand why Doug Ford feels he needs to continually propose changes to the Region of Peel without first having some understanding regarding the impacts that could potentially arise i.e. tax increases, water/wastewater billing increases etc.

The provincial government is aware that Peel water and wastewater is a successfully run utility that current has one of the lowest utility rates in Ontario. This will increase substantially if the province takes over and specifically starts adding private ownership/partnerships.

I don't understand the need to create another government agency to take over water/wastewater when it is working well with the Region. It means creating a duplicate hierarchy, which is a duplication of services. The lower tiers are still contributing so why is it different than now?

I will like to see a breakdown with data that explains how this transfer of services will lower my taxes as a resident of Mississauga. An analysis of how this transfer is a better use of tax dollars compared to status quo will also be helpful.
I'm strongly opposed to the Ontario Government proposal to download water and wastewater services from Peel Region to the lower tier municipalities.

I oppose transferring jurisdiction of water and wastewater to the lower tier municipalities in Peel. Peel does a good job on ensuring our water safety.
I feel that the current PC government is gutting Peel region’s services as an alternative to disbanding Peel Region and that is not acceptable.
