Treatment Master Plan

Tonight’s Agenda

What’s Happening Tonight?

Open House

• Have a look at the project information on display and chat with the Project Team

• Review what we do with wastewater and biosolids today • Provide input on the evaluation of the short-listed alternatives • Review how the recommendations in both studies will be developed and implemented

Work will be completed to meet the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act as outlined by the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Oct 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011 and 2015) process.

Wastewater Treatment in Waterloo Region Today

*

Growth We are planning for the growth in Waterloo Region to the year 2051. Many treatment plants will need extra capacity to treat the additional wastewater.

Future Wastewater Flows in the Region Additional capacity is required for the Waterloo, St Jacobs, Elmira, Hespeler, and Wellesley plants before 2051.

Level of Treatment Needs The Region is committed to improving the water quality of the rivers that it discharges to.

Higher levels of treatment are expected to be required for the Waterloo, Preston, Hespeler, St Jacobs, Elmira and Wellesley plants before 2051.

Sustainability and Innovation The Region wants to be leaders in using innovative technologies to improve the sustainability of its wastewater treatment plants. New technologies can help with:

Why Are We Updating the Wastewater Treatment Master Plan?

Collect data, review existing conditions, and GHYHORS�ȵRZ�SURMHFWLRQV�IRU�IXWXUH�WUHDWPHQW� needs.

Develop a decision making framework, and a long list of wastewater treatment alternatives.

Identify and short-list alternatives that would work at each treatment plant based on contraints and opportunities for that plant.

Evaluate the short-listed strategies using detailed evaluation criteria to determine preferred alternatives for each treatment plant.

regulations can dictate how

wastewater must be treated to meet Provincial and

Federal standards.

Increasing Costs

$$The Region should consider feasible new technologies that

present opportunities for innovation.

Environmental and social constraints

must be considered, including protection of receiving waters, climate change, HQHUJ\�HɝFLHQF\�� greenhouse gas reductions, and

potential impacts on the community.

The Region has invested in existing infrastructure and optimizing this infrastructure is

critical in maintaining FRVW�HHFWLYH� treatment.

As the costs associated with wastewater treatment will

continue to rise, it is important to consider the best value to the

Region.
