Stayner Water Supply at Capacity New Building Permits on Hold
The Township of Clearview is excited to have received $35 million of Housing-Enabling Water Systems funding from the Province of Ontario. This will help fund the construction of the Klondike Park Road Well Site, Reservoir and Pumping Station and bring additional water capacity to the Stayner Settlement area. The existing water system remains at capacity and new building permits on hold until the water infrastructure is constructed. For project updates including projected timelines please visit our Klondike Park Road Well Site webpage.
