2025 Water and Wastewater Master Plan for the lake-based systems

Peel Region has initiated the 2025 Water and Wastewater Master Plan for the lake-based systems (where Lake Ontario is the drinking water source and the discharge point for treated wastewater). The study is as an update to the 2020 Master Plan, with adjustments to reflect the latest 2051 Official Plan as well as consider the higher growth targets from the province’s Bill 23. The project team will identify strategies to meet existing servicing needs and will collaborate with local municipalities and other stakeholders to align infrastructure plans to support priority growth areas. The study area includes the City of Mississauga, the City of Brampton, and parts of the Town of Caledon, as shown in Figure 1.

Process

The study will be carried out in accordance with the Municipal Class Environment Assessment (MCEA) process. In March 2023, the Municipal Engineers Association released an amendment to the MCEA document. The Master Plan will follow Approach #1 with a broad scope where identified projects will be subject to project specific requirements.

Your input is important

Two Public Information Centres (PICs) will be held at key points during the study to present findings and gather feedback. The first PIC, to be announced in 2024, will present the problems or opportunities to be addressed, the existing conditions and constraints, and an overview of the study process. The second PIC will present the alternative solutions, evaluation findings, and the preferred water and wastewater servicing strategies. Once the study is complete, the Master Plan Report will document the full study process and be available for public review and comment.
