Water Permit Renewal for Deerfield Golf Course - Oakville
Official title: Deerfield Golf & Recreation Centre Ltd. - Permit to take water
A golf course in Oakville wants to renew its permit to draw water from an on-site pond for irrigation. They're asking to take up to 1.3 million litres per day during the golf season. The province has classified this as a low-risk water taking.
Why This Matters
Live near this golf course on North Service Road West? This permit affects local water resources. If you rely on a private well or care about pond water levels in the area, you might want to weigh in.
What Could Change
If approved, the golf course can continue drawing water from its irrigation pond for another 10 years. The permit allows up to 2,271 litres per minute, 10 hours daily, from mid-April to mid-November.
Key Issues
- Should the water taking permit be renewed for another 10 years?
- Are the proposed water taking volumes appropriate for the local environment?
