Notice of Public Information Centre 2: Water and Wastewater Servicing and Capacity Master Plan
The City of Kawartha Lakes has experienced a significant increase in growth over the recent years. The Water and Wastewater Servicing and Capacity Master Plan was initiated to identify the existing servicing constraints and provide a long-term water and wastewater servicing strategy that supports existing communities and growth to 2051 and beyond.
Master Plan Class Environmental Assessment
This study is being conducted in accordance with the requirements of Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment, which is an approved process under the Environmental Assessment Act.
The Master Plan Class Environmental Assessment (MPCEA) process includes public and review agency consultation, an assessment of the problem and opportunities, an evaluation of alternative solutions, an assessment of potential effects on the environment, and identification of reasonable measures to mitigate the adverse effects. The preferred solution(s) will be determined based on engineering requirements, environmental considerations (natural, social, economic), public input, and information gathered during the studies.
About the Public Information Centre
Public consultation is a key component of the MPCEA process. We would like to invite you, your friends, and your neighbours to participate in the Public Information Centres (PIC) to inform these studies. The first PIC was held on October 18, 2023, and discussed the project objectives and processes.
The upcoming PIC will present the study findings and recommended upgrades for the City of Kawartha Lakes water and wastewater infrastructure. To centralize the Public Information Centre, both Fenelon Falls and Lindsay will host PIC events on separate evenings. Both locations will present the same information, addressing the entirety of the City of Kawartha Lakes. The events will be conducted as in-person Open House style sessions, with a formal presentation at 7pm. At the PICs, you will be able to learn about our approach and our findings, ask us questions, and share your thoughts and opinions. Your participation in PICs is important to us.
Event 1: Fenelon Falls
Date: Wednesday June 19, 2024
Time: 6pm to 8pm
Location: Fenelon Falls Community Centre, 27 Veterans Way, Fenelon Falls
Event 2: Lindsay
Date: Thursday June 20, 2024
Time: 6pm to 8pm
Location: City Hall, Victoria Room, 26 Francis Street, Lindsay
If you are unable to attend the PIC in person, the display boards and presentation will be available online after the event.
A live stream of the Lindsay presentation will be available on Zoom. Live-stream participants will also have the opportunity to ask questions after the presentation on Zoom. Please note that the live stream will contain the same information as the Fenelon Falls PIC presentation. A Zoom link will be made available in the Water and Wastewater Servicing and Capacity Master Plan section of the Major Projects page on our website. The Zoom link will be sent to everyone on the contact list prior to the event.
