The Study
Peel Region’s (Region’s) recently completed Water and Wastewater Master Plan forecasts an increase in population and has confirmed the need for additional water supply to the Downtown Brampton area. A new watermain is required south of Williams Parkway to provide this additional water supply to the Downtown Brampton area.
Given the proximity of the study area to Etobicoke Creek, the Region has recently completed a Schedule ‘B’ Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) study to select a preferred watermain route alignment in the City of Brampton. The study documents the existing baseline conditions, the alternatives evaluated, and the preferred solution to minimize impacts on the community and provide long-term flexibility to manage water demand and pressure in the system. The study area for this Class EA is shown on the map.
An evaluation was completed with study-specific criteria. The evaluation and the resulting recommendations were made public through a virtual Public Information Centre that was available on-line from November 11 to December 2, 2021. Feedback from the public, approval agencies, First Nations and stakeholders were collected and addressed from the time period between November 11, 2021 and January 21, 2022.
The selected alignment for the 750-mm watermain will be installed via micro-tunnelling and run along Centre St., from connection points at John St. and Williams Parkway East. The new watermain will also provide water supply to Vodden St., Woodward Ave., Church and Queen Streets.
Subject to comments received, as a result of this Notice and the receipt of necessary approvals, the Region of Peel intends to proceed to design and construction of this project.
