West Caledon storage facility and transmission main
Background
Peel Region completed the 2020 Water and Wastewater Master Plan for the Lake-based Systems, which identified the need to construct a new pressure zone 7 water storage and transmission infrastructure for West Caledon. This Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) will support this recommendation by developing, evaluating, and selecting a preferred storage facility and transmission main route to service the projected growth within the study area to 2051.
Process
The study will follow the Schedule C Municipal Class EA process, which includes:
- Satisfying Phases 1-4 of the Class EA Process.
- Holding public and agency stakeholder meetings.
- Providing a solution that best meets the needs of existing and future servicing areas.
- Investigating alternative long-term servicing strategies, routes, and design concepts.
- Confirming the preferred plan, including routes, sites, design, and schedule.
