MCVA apportionment method
 6. (1) Under the MCVA apportionment method, the portion of a Category 1 CWA/LSPA operating expense or capital cost to be apportioned to a municipality shall be based on the ratio that the municipality’s modified current value assessment bears to the authority’s modified current value assessment. (2) For the purposes of subsection (1), the modified current value assessment of a municipality shall be determined as follows: 1.  For each of the property classes set out in Column 2 of the Table to this subsection, determine the sum of the current value assessment for all the properties in the municipality that are in the property class, if any. 2.  Multiply the current value assessment for each property class obtained under paragraph 1 by the factor set out in Column 3 of the Table to this subsection opposite the property class. 3.  Determine the sum of the amounts obtained under paragraph 2. 4.  Multiply the sum obtained under paragraph 3 by a percentage based on one of the following ratios: i.  if apportioning an operating expense or capital cost that is related to a program or service provided under the Clean Water Act, 2006, the ratio of the amount of the municipality’s land that is in the source protection area for which the authority is the source protection authority under that Act to the total amount of land in the municipality, or ii.  if apportioning an operating expense or capital cost that is related to a program or service provided under the Lake Simcoe Protection Act, 2008, the ratio of the amount of the municipality’s land that is in the Lake Simcoe watershed to the total amount of land in the municipality. table   property classes and factors Column 1   Item   Column 2   Property Class   Column 3   Factor
