Northwest Quadrant Water Distribution System Expansion

LA Developments is initiating a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to increase the groundwater supply capacity of the existing Kemptville Water Supply System. In 2015, the North Grenville Potable Water and Wastewater Master Plan (Master Plan) was updated to evaluate the servicing alternatives to accommodate the anticipated development by the build-out year of 2034. The Master Plan identified the needs to increase the existing supply capacity to accommodate the long-term growth needs in the Municipality.

The 2015 Master Plan update recommended a new source water well with storage, distribution, collection and treatment in the Northwest Quadrant to increase the local water supply in the Municipality.

An increase in groundwater supply capacity will include an additional groundwater supply source, to provide a maximum day flow capacity of 2,000 m3/day and an additional storage reservoir capacity of 1370 m3. New watermains and/or upgrades to the existing water distribution system to allow for the connection of the new supply well to the existing system will be required.

The Class EA study is being conducted according to the requirements of a Schedule ‘B’ project under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment document (October 2000, amended in 2007, 2011 & 2015). The purpose of the Class EA study is to identify the preferred location to establish a new municipal groundwater well, pumping station and storage reservoir at the new well location.

Public consultation is an integral component of the Class EA process, and we value your input during the planning process. A Public Information Centre (PIC) will be conducted as a part of the study, and at this time is planned as a virtual information event. Notification of the PIC will be advertised on the Municipality website and in local newspapers. If you wish to be placed on the mailing list to receive notices and information, or, you wish to provide comments at any time during the process you can do so by contacting:

LA Developments is initiating a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to increase the groundwater supply capacity of the existing Kemptville Water Supply System to accommodate the anticipated development by the build-out year of 2034.

This study is being conducted in accordance with the requirements for Schedule ‘B’ projects under the Municipal Class EA document as set out by the Municipal Engineers Association (October 2000, amended in 2007, 2011 and 2015).

Public consultation is critical to the success of the study. Given the current COVID-19 Pandemic restrictions, an online Public Information Centre (PIC) has been scheduled to commence on Monday, January 28, 2021 to provide information about the project, activities completed to-date, and obtain your feedback / comments. The online PIC will be accessible for a period of two weeks.

PIC presentation boards will be available for review, on the Municipality’s website at www.northgrenville.ca. You are encouraged to review the PIC material and provide your feedback/ comments, and these will be considered in finalizing the preferred servicing strategy.

Please contact one of the individuals listed below if you have any questions or comments or would like to be included on the Project Contact List.
