The purpose of this project is to improve water quality and increase flood control in accordance with the requirements set out by the Ministry of Environment Climate Change and Parks (MECP) as well as the City of Peterborough’s Stormwater Quality Master Plan. The project will :

  • decrease flood risk in the area by increasing the pond's ability to store water;

  • improve existing upstream infrastructure that controls and conveys water into the pond.

  • enhance water quality in the Byersville Creek Subwatershed.

The project plans, additional project information and resources are available on the City’s consultation website Connect Peterborough at www.connectptbo.ca/cedargroveswm.

Residents can provide feedback and ask questions through the online engagement tool. Residents who do not have computer access, may contact the City’s Stormwater Systems Coordinator by phone at 705-742-7777 ext. 1507.

This is the second public outreach for this project because there have been significant revisions to the original design. Comments and questions will be received until February 18, 2022.

The project team will review and evaluate the feasibility of all feedback as it develops the project plan.
