Arthur P. Kennedy Water Treatment Plant Reservoir Expansion
The Study
The Region of Peel has initiated a Schedule 'C' of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for the reservoir expansion at the Arthur P. Kennedy Water Treatment Plant (WTP). The study area generally extends 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 Region's Water and Wastewater Master Plan (2020) and updated 2051 population forecast identified the current treated water storage is insufficient at this WTP. 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 study will include:
- Public and stakeholder meetings
- Evaluating alternative solutions
- Identifying preferred solution
- Identifying and evaluating alternative design concepts
- Measures to reduce impacts on the surrounding community
We Want to Hear from You
Public consultation is an important part of the EA process. We welcome your comments throughout the study. The Region plans to hold two Public Information Centres (PICs) during the study. The PICs will provide background information on the study, compare the alternative solutions, and compare the alternative design concepts to identify a preliminary preferred design concept to be implemented. Regional staff will be present to answer questions and address any concerns. Information on the PICs will be provided closer to the dates. An Environmental Study Report will be filed with the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks at the end of the study and will be made available for review.
