Water Permit Renewal for Black Diamond Golf Club - Manvers Township
Official title: Black Diamond Golf Club Inc. - Permit to take water
A golf course near Kawartha Lakes wants to renew its water permit for the next 10 years. They'd draw from a pond for irrigation and a well for the clubhouse. This is a Category 3 permit—the highest risk level for environmental impact.
Why This Matters
Live near this golf course? Get your water from a private well? This permit could affect local groundwater levels. Category 3 means the province considers this a high-risk water taking.
What Could Change
If approved, the golf course could take up to 980,600 litres daily from the pond and 120,000 litres from the well for 10 years. The Ministry may impose conditions to protect nearby water sources.
Key Issues
- Should this high-risk water permit be renewed for 10 years?
