Report Overview
In October, 2016, the Municipality of Clarington submitted an application to the Province of
Ontario for funding under the Federal Clean Water and Wastewater Fund (CWWF), which
amounted to a total of $1,220,000 funding for the approved Clarington project (50% Federal
funding, 25% Provincial funding and 25% Municipal funding). The Clarington contribution,
(25% or $305,000) was included in the 2017 Capital Budget. The application has been
reviewed by the Province and is now with the Federal government for final review and

execute a transfer payment agreement with the Province. This report is to pass a By-law
authorizing the Mayor and Municipal Clerk to execute the agreement with the Province of

1. Background
1.1 The Clean Water and Wastewater Fund (CWWF)
In October, 2016 the Municipality of Clarington submitted an application to the Province
for funding under the CWWF program to advance the clean out of three of our stormwater
management ponds; Robert Adams Pond, ClarNew Ponds (south of Edward St. and
north of the 401) and the West Side Pond (northeast corner of Baseline Rd., and West
Side Dr.). The Clean Water and Wastewater Fund (CWWF) is a Federal program
designed to accelerate short-term community investments while supporting the
rehabilitation and modernization of drinking water, wastewater and stormwater
infrastructure, and the planning and design of future facilities as well as upgrades to
existing systems.
The application has been reviewed by the Province and is now with the Federal
government for final review and approval.
2. Proposal
The purpose of this report is to request that Council approve a By-law authorizing staff to
execute the transfer payment agreement with the Province of Ontario which will allow us
to take advantage of an opportunity to proceed with a project in the amount of $1,220,000
through a financial contribution from Clarington in the amount of $305,000.
