<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>As we have reported before, Waterloo Region is updating both of these plans. The basic conclusion that both plans come to is that, because of the effectiveness of water conservation and efficiency programs, the decision on a pipeline can be deferred.<BR>
<BR>
This week, the Region is holding public consultation centres of their water efficiency update proposals.<BR>
</SPAN></FONT><UL><LI><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Thursday Feb 6, Conestoga Mall, 5:30 – 8

In December, the Region held open houses on the update to the Water Supply Master Plan.<BR>
<BR>
GREN is putting together comments on both of these plans for submission to the Region by the end of February. If you have any comments on the plans, please send them to me as soon as possible.<BR>
