The Township of Wainfleet received a request under the Act for access to records relating to a septic system inspection at a specified address. The property owner objected to disclosure of the responsive records and the township decided to deny access to the records citing the exemption in section 14(1) (personal privacy). The requester appealed the township’s decision, confirming that she was not interested in any personal information in the records. The township maintained its decision not to release the records.
In this order, the adjudicator finds that the information remaining at issue is not exempt under section 14(1). The adjudicator allows the appeal and orders the township to disclose the records with names and contact information severed.
