Kirwin Avenue sanitary sewer diversion

Notice of completion

October 10, 2024

Peel Region has identified the need to enhance and increase wastewater (sanitary sewer) servicing capacity to facilitate proposed and future developments in the vicinity of the Hurontario Street and Kirwin Avenue intersection.

The Region has undertaken a study to evaluate potential alternatives for the installation of a new sanitary sewer to accommodate flows from proposed developments near Hurontario Street and Kirwin Avenue within the highlighted study area.

A Schedule ‘B’ Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) study has been completed and has identified the preferred solution. The preferred solution involves the installation of a new sanitary sewer starting from Hurontario Street and travelling northeast along Kirwin Avenue. The proposed sewer will follow the bend in Kirwin Avenue and connect to the existing 825mm Cooksville Creek Trunk Sewer.

Subject to comments received as a result of this Notice, and the receipt of necessary approvals, Peel Region intends to proceed to design and construction of this project.
 

The process

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

• Public and stakeholder consultations;
• An evaluation of alternative solutions;
• An assessment of the preferred solution and identification of methods to lessen the adverse impacts to the community;
• Documentation of the process and its result in a Project File Report.

Public and agency stakeholder consultation, including communications with Indigenous Communities was and continues to be an important part of the Class EA process.

The Project File Report will be available for a 35-day public comment period starting October 10, 2024 and ending November 14, 2024, in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class EA process (MCEA, February 2024).
