Arthur P. Kennedy Water Treatment Plant Reservoir Expansion

Background

Peel Region is responsible for the safe and continued delivery of municipal water and wastewater services to its residents.

Peel’s Water and Wastewater Master Plan (2020) and updated 2051 population forecast has identified that current treated water storage capacity is insufficient at the Arthur P. Kennedy Water Treatment Plant (WTP) for the planned growth. To address the need to increase the water storage capacity, Peel has completed a Schedule ‘C’ Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for the planned reservoir expansion at the Arthur P. Kennedy WTP.

This project identified a preferred solution and design concept that provides a cost-effective and environmentally sound means of providing additional treated water storage to ensure long-term reliable water treatment and supply of this lake-based system. The study area extended from Lakeshore Road East southerly to Lake Ontario, and from just east of Montbeck Crescent to East Avenue to the western limits of the Douglas Kennedy Park.

The Process

The study followed a Schedule ‘C’ Class EA, including:

• Phase 1: A review of background information and identification of the problem/opportunity statement
• Phase 2: An evaluation of alternative solutions
• Phase 3: Identification and Evaluation of alternative design concepts for preferred solution
• Phase 4: Documentation of the process and its results in an Environmental Study Report (ESR)
• Phase 5: Conceptual design and implementation

We want to hear from you

Public consultation is an important part of the EA process.

• Notice of Public Information Centre #2
• Public Information Centre #1
• PIC # 1 presentation boards

Environmental study report (ESR)

The ESR is available for a 30-day public review period from October 31st, 2024, and ending November 30th, 2024, in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class EA process.
