Notice - Water and Wastewater Master Plan Public Information Centre #3

The Municipality of Lakeshore is conducting an update to its Water and Wastewater Master Plan (WWMP). 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.

The study will be carried out as a Master Plan in accordance with Schedule B Approach #1 of the Municipal Engineers Association’s (MEA’s) Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) Process (MEA 2000, as amended 2007, 2011, 2015, 2023), which is an approved process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. Results from this study will be documented in a Master Plan Project File that will be made available for public review.

Public Information Centre #3 – Event Details

Your feedback is an important part of the WWMP Update. Lakeshore recognizes that public consultation will be a key component of this project. Accordingly, a public consultation plan has been developed and a set of activities, including three Public Information Centres (PICs), newspaper advertisements, and postings online at Lakeshore.ca/WWMP has been arranged. Upon completion of the WWMP Update, a Master Plan Project file will be prepared and available for public review.

The first PIC was held on June 28, 2023, and presented background information on the project, an overview of Lakeshore’s water and wastewater systems, future needs, and next steps. The display panels that were presented at the PIC #1 can be found on the project website.

The second Public Information Centre was held on November 22, 2023, and presented a summary of project constraints and opportunities, the decision-making process, criteria for identifying alternative solutions, and a preliminary list of identified project alternatives for wastewater treatment and conveyance.

The third PIC will be held at Lakeshore Town Hall in Council Chambers (upstairs), located at 419 Notre Dame St, Belle River, from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM on June 10, 2024. The event will introduce the criteria and process for evaluating the list of identified alternatives presented at PIC 2, and present preliminary recommendations on the preferred alternatives.  The purpose of the PIC is to receive input and comments on the project from interested members of the public. An accessible version of the material will be available upon request.
