Water and Wastewater Master Plan Update

At the meeting on October 8, 2024, Council approved the 2024 Water and Wastewater Master Plan.

What is this project about?

The Municipality of Lakeshore conducted an update to its Water and Wastewater Master Plan (WWMP). Lakeshore’s significant growth and increased demand for higher-density development triggered the need to re-evaluate and address growth and identify future needs related to water and wastewater services.

The update to the Water and Wastewater Master Plan will ensure proper planning and project guidelines towards the implementation of water and wastewater infrastructure improvements over the next 20 years. This WWMP Update will expand and revise the servicing plan that was adopted in 2018.
