Arthur P. Kennedy Water Treatment Plant Reservoir Expansion
The study
Peel Region has initiated a Schedule ‘C’ Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for the reservoir expansion at the Arthur P. Kennedy Water Treatment Plant (WTP) (See Figure). The approximate limits of the study area include the area around the Arthur P. Kennedy WTP from Lakeshore Road East south to Lake Ontario, and from just east of Montbeck Crescent to East Avenue extending to the eastern limits of the Douglas Kennedy Park.
Peel Region’s Water and Wastewater Master Plan (2020) and updated 2051 population forecast identified that the WTP treated water storage is insufficient. The purpose of this project is to identify 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 process
The Class EA study will be conducted in accordance with the approved requirements for a Schedule ‘C’ project as described in the Municipal Engineers Association’s Municipal Class EA document (October 2000, as amended). A key component of the study is consultation with interested stakeholders (Indigenous communities, public, landowners and agencies). Two Public Information Centres (PICs) will be held throughout the Study to provide an update, as well as an opportunity to provide comments.
Public information centre
The first PIC will provide a summary of the background information, the need and justification, as well as an overview of the alternative solutions being considered. The PIC will also provide an opportunity to provide their feedback on the project. We invite you to drop-in during this time.
The PIC will take place as follows:
| Date: | October 18, 2023 (Drop-in Centre Format) |
| Time: | 6:30 pm to 8 pm |
| Location: | Saint Dominic Separate School |
The material will be made available from October 18 to November 18, 2023. Comments will be received until November 18, 2023, and a PIC summary will be posted online.
