• Approved by Guelph City Council in May 2009
• Multi-sector approach (Res/ICI/Dev/Municipal)
• 10-year, $20M strategy with goal of reducing average day water use by 8,773 m3/day by 2019
• Accounted for operational and GHG co-benefits
• Reclaimed water and wastewater capacity is estimated to defer need for $44 million in equivalent infrastructure costs.
