Greensville Drinking Water System Environmental Assessment

The Greensville Drinking Water System (DWS) is currently supplied by one groundwater-sourced municipal well and pumping/treatment station (FDG01) which is not equipped with backup water supply, and several components of the existing FDG01 system are reaching end of life.

FDG01 is operating safely and effectively, however, it does not meet the City’s current outstation design manual. In 2022, the City completed a Constructability and Risk Assessment which identified alternatives for backup water supply and identified the implementation of a new municipal communal well and pumping station with water storage could provide reliable water supply and quality to the Greensville RSA and meet the City’s outstation design manual criteria. The purpose of this study is to determine the preferred servicing scenario with backup water supply, and location of the new well and new pumping station within Johnson Tew Park if required.

Update: The City of Hamilton has completed the Schedule ‘C’ Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) study for the Greensville Rural Settlement Area (RSA), to provide improvements to the Harvest Road Water Supply System (WSS).

An Environmental Study Report (ESR) documenting the study process and recommendations is available for public review for 30 calendar days from January 6, 2025, to February 7, 2025 at www.hamilton.ca/greensvilledws(External link).
