Ontario Investing in Health and Safety Water Stream

  • The Ontario government is investing $175 million to help ensure communities have access to safe drinking water, reliable wastewater services, and are protected during extreme weather events.
  • The funding is being delivered through the Health and Safety Water Stream (HSWS) of the Municipal Housing Infrastructure Program (MHIP).
  • Municipalities and First Nations communities can apply for funding to upgrade water, wastewater and stormwater facilities, replace local pipes and watermains, and make enhancements to shoreline and flood mitigation.
  • Eligible projects must be net new, rehabilitation, or expansion projects.
  • The province will begin accepting applications on February 12, 2025.
