In study areas where third-party agencies play a role in water management activities, these agencies should be involved as members of the project team for a water sustainability plan. Private-sector organizations also operate and manage water and wastewater on a contractual basis with municipalities. Table 2.1.2 shows the organizations, including municipalities, OCWA, and private organizations, that are responsible for water and wastewater management and operations in Ontario.
