Urban Area Residential Servicing Allocation Reservation Policy
On March 24, 2025, Council approved an updated Residential Servicing Allocation Reservation Policy for the Urban Area of Uxbridge.
Wastewater and Waster Allocation
The Township of Uxbridge Official Plan establishes policies to guide the planning of the Urban Area. New residential development in the Uxbridge Urban Area (see Township Official Plan) is conditional on the availability of municipal wastewater treatment and water services in accordance with the requirements of the Township Official Plan. The capacity of the services, particularly municipal wastewater, is extremely limited and must be regularly monitored to ensure development approvals do not exceed capacity.
The Township's Residential Servicing Allocation Reservation Policy has been developed in conjunction with the Region of Durham and is to be used as a basis for the reservation of wastewater treatment and water servicing capacity by the Township for residential development to best meet the objectives of the Township, as determined by Township Council, and to implement Provincial, Regional and Township policies to manage development in a manner which efficiently uses land, existing resources, infrastructure and public service facilities.
Please review the Residential Servicing Allocation Reservation Policy to understand how the Township and Region monitor wastewater and water capacity; how reservation requests may be made and how reservation and subsequently allocation is granted.
Reservation of Wastewater and Water Allocation
Reservation of wastewater treatment and water servicing capacity will be at the sole and absolute discretion of Township Council, in consultation with the Region of Durham particularly with regard to capacity tracking data established by the Region of Durham. All reservations of wastewater treatment and water servicing capacity shall be confirmed by a resolution of Township of Uxbridge Council, in accordance with this policy.
Application for Reservation
An application is required in order for Council to consider a request for allocation reservation. A completed Application Form, submitted with the materials outlined on the form is required to be submitted to the Township's Development Services Department.
