Upcoming Public Information Centre Scheduled for February 21, 2023
The Municipality of Central Elgin (Central Elgin) is undertaking a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Study for sanitary (wastewater) servicing in the East Side Development Area (ESDA). The ESDA consists of employment area land located within Central Elgin to the east of the City of St. Thomas. This study will identify alternatives including locations for a new Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) to support growth within the ESDA. The study will also consider the potential for a WWTP to service other nearby areas such as the former Village of Belmont (Refer to study area map).
How can I participate in the study?
A Public Information Centre (PIC) is planned to provide a project update, present the problem and opportunity statement, and identify the proposed evaluation criteria. Potential Alternative Solutions will also be identified for evaluation in later phases of this project.
The PIC will be held in-person and will consist of a drop-in format. Project team members will be present to assist with any comments or questions that residents or other stakeholders may have. Meeting details are below:
