The Municipality of West Grey is currently undertaking a Schedule C Environmental Assessment (EA) for upgrading of Durham Water Works which in its existing condition is approaching the rated capacity of the treatment plants permitted by the drinking water works licence and permit. Furthermore, the existing water supply well(s) yield is on the decline, thereby threatening availability of water supplies in sufficient quantity. The municipality is obligated to search for methods to increase water supply capability and rated capacity of water works in order that the water works can continue to supply potable water meeting Ontario Drinking Water Standards (ODWS) to water consumers.
In view of the above, West Grey has prepared a comprehensive EA document that outlines the problem statement, list of alternatives and their details that are being pursued to upgrade Water Work. Screening of Alternative Solutions is also provided in this document. Based on screening a Preliminary Recommended Alternative Solution has been identified. Comments from all property owners and stakeholders is being requested.
Please review documentation including the Comment Sheet below and provide your comments on the comment sheet and send them to the undersigned by January 6, 2023.
