New well supply will help ensure long-term security and supply of drinking water in the community


Oxford County is hosting a second public consultation event to present the engineering design concepts for a new well supply in the Village of Tavistock.

At the first Public Consultation Centre (PCC) in December 2022, a location on Hope Street West near Optimist Park was identified as the preferred site to develop a new well to ensure the long-term security and supply of drinking water in Tavistock.

At PCC #2, residents and businesses will hear an update on the project, learn about the design concepts for the well, and have an opportunity to ask questions. PCC #2 is an online meeting that takes place:

Tuesday, September 26, 2023
6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
