Water and Wastewater
Tay Township works with the Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA) to safely and efficiently maintain and operate our municipally owned water and wastewater treatment facilities. We supply safe drinking water to municipal water users across the Township.
If you experience discoloured water, unusual taste or odour, low water pressure, sewer issues or have concerns about work in your area, please contact OCWA at 1-866-775-7712, weekly from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
For after-hours emergency service for Water/Wastewater please call 705-526-5762.
Tay Township provides its residents (urban areas) with clean, quality drinking water through the operation of two water treatment systems:
- Rope Drinking Water System, Waubaushene.
- Tay Area Drinking Water System
There are three booster stations located in the following communities:
- Port McNicoll
- Waubaushene
- Victoria Harbour
The Rope Drinking Water System serves a small subdivision of approximately 27 properties.
The Tay Area Drinking Water System serves the villages of Victoria Harbour, Port McNicoll and Waubaushene which is approximately 2902 properties.
Rural areas are serviced through private wells and are not part of the Township's drinking water system, nor are they maintained by the Township.
