Update to the Water and Wastewater Master Plan

Kincardine On: The current Water and Wastewater Master Plan Master Plan was adopted by Council in 2018 and since that time there has been residential and non-residential growth, additional development proposals and new and upgraded infrastructure within the systems. 

The Municipality of Kincardine initiated a review of the Water and Wastewater Master Plan in May 2022 to identify infrastructure requirements associated with water supply, storage and distribution, and wastewater collection and treatment in Kincardine and Tiverton. 

The analysis applies to the Kincardine Drinking Water and Wastewater Systems, the Tiverton Drinking Water System (DWS) and the Bruce Energy Centre (BEC) Wastewater System, as well as their corresponding service areas. 

This Master Plan establishes infrastructure improvement and expansion needs which will become the basis for, and used in support of, future projects required to accommodate approved growth.

Currently an update to the Water and Wastewater Master Plan is being completed along with a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) for an expansion to the Kincardine Water Treatment Plant, as there is an anticipated need based on potential community growth in combination with the potential to add Bruce Power as a water customer. The Municipality has issued a 30-day public review period for public review. During this review staff will address comments and present the final draft at a council meeting in September 2023.
