The Plan looks at the best use for existing sanitary infrastructure that aligns with the City’s Official Plan Update according to a press release.
“Our wastewater system is one of the most important pieces of infrastructure that the City currently provides, even though it can be ‘out of sight, out of mind,’” said Mayor Jeff Leal. “The Sanitary Master Plan is being developed to guide our strategic investment in the City’s sanitary system for the health and well-being of our residents, and your input is an important part of the process.”
The live virtual public information centre (PIC) presentation is part of the Class Environmental Assessment study. It will present information about the City’s existing wastewater system, future growth needs, the project schedule, and what steps are being taken to support the decision-making process. Participants can submit questions during the presentation through the virtual chat feature. To receive information on how to attend the virtual meeting, please register using the link on the project page.
Project information for the Sanitary Master Plan is available on the City’s community consultation website. Residents are invited to submit comments on the study and subscribe for future study updates. A recording of the PIC presentation will be posted on the project website following the live session.
The City’s Sanitary Master Plan objectives are:
Assess the existing sanitary system and identify requirements to service existing and future development areas;
Identify existing system vulnerabilities and risks, and develop a mitigation approach;
Evaluate the impact of future population growth to existing and new system vulnerabilities;
Develop an environmentally sustainable strategy for managed growth with a focus on intensification in built-up areas and climate change resiliency;
Provide capital planning recommendations to form the basis for future Development Charges
