Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater Master Plan

The Water, Wastewater and Stormwater (W/WW/SWM) Master Plan is a strategic and comprehensive growth and infrastructure planning study to provide a basis for decision making to shape the City’s future growth.

The W/WW/SWM Master Plan consists of a review of growth projections, servicing policies, design criteria and completion of public consultation and servicing strategy evaluation under the Municipal Engineers Association Class Environmental Assessment Master Plan Process. The population and employment projection inputs are developed by the City planning department under the GRIDS 2 process and will consist of population, employment and densities within existing (Infill/Intensification) areas and new Greenfield growth to 2051.

The study will determine the short and long-term water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure needs to support growth to the year 2051.

The integrated Master Plan will:

• Provide a strategic vision for the 2041 and 2051 planning horizons to accommodate future growth, and ensure safe, clean drinking water and environmental protection
• Ensure safe, sustainable and optimized water and wastewater services
• Provide a business case for the need, timing and cost of water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure in an integrated process

This project is being completed along with the Strategic Transportation Network Review.

We want to hear from you!

Public input is an important part of the Class EA process. There are several times throughout the Class EA process where there is opportunity for public and stakeholders to provide their input. For this study public consultation will occur:

• Early in the process to introduce the study and to get public feedback (Notice of Commencement).
• Once the alternatives have been evaluated and the preliminary preferred solution has been selected (PIC #2).
• Once the study is completed the Master Plan Report will be placed on public record for a minimum 30-day review period (Notice of Study Completion).
