Notice of Commencement

Schedule B Municipal Class Environmental Assessment for Water Storage at Wells 5/5A

What is this study all about?

The Town of Orangeville (Town) has proactively identified necessary rehabilitation to its West Sector Reservoir (WSR) elevated water storage tank.  The rehabilitation work will require the WSR to be offline for several months.  A review of the existing water system identified concerns about the Town’s water storage capacity with the WSR offline to complete the necessary work.  The Town is therefore initiating a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) Study to plan for a new water storage facility at the Wells 5/5A site. The proposed facility will provide additional water storage capacity to support the necessary work at the WSR.  The new water storage capacity at Wells 5/5A will leverage the high water yield at this site and address on-going operational issues.  A specific location and configuration for the new water storage facility at the Wells 5/5A site will be identified and confirmed through this MCEA process.

How is this study being done?

This study is proceeding in accordance with the requirements of Schedule ‘B’ projects under the MCEA process, as amended, which is an approved process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.
