Individuals are able to access certain Milton Hydro records without making a formal request under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA). Much of our information is routinely available and requests for personal information can generally be made by calling, emailing or writing Milton Hydro. If you feel your records contain errors or omissions, you may informally ask for a correction by contacting Milton Hydro.
Formal requests under MFIPPA should only be used in cases where information is not available through the usual channels. You may contact Milton Hydro’s Privacy Officer at 200 Chisholm Drive, Milton, ON L9T 3G9, 905-876-4611 ext. 236, to determine whether you need to make a formal request.
