Growth needs usable capacity, not just a completed study.

Oxford County marks the Norwich wastewater capacity expansion environmental study completed and links its May 2025 report. The study addresses servicing for existing needs and projected growth to 2046. The next accountability task is to connect that planning work to adopted funding, construction and commissioning. Proposed housing or employment growth should be assessed against the capacity actually available, allocation rules and the people who pay. A study milestone matters, but it is not a substitute for an implementation schedule or proof that a future development can connect immediately.
