Project Overview What is this project about? Determining the long-term wastewater servicing solution to support growth in the East Side Lands.

What is the short term strategy? To make the best use of existing infrastructure until the long term solution is needed. Initially, wastewater from the East Side Lands will be treated at the Preston Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP).

What is the long term strategy? Ultimately, wastewater from the East Side Lands will be treated at the Kitchener WWTP.

What is the focus of this study? How the wastewater flows will reach the Kitchener WWTP.

We would like your input on the proposed wastewater servicing strategy

Stakeholderr Consultation

This study is being completed as a Schedule ‘B’ Class EA. It builds on the previous work of the East Side Lands

Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP).

Project Approach The project approach is to divide the servicing strategy into two parts:

Part 1: Route Considers the alignment of the sanitary servicing infrastructure (pipeline) from the East Side Lands to the Kitchener Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP)

Part 2: Wastewater Transfer Considers options for gravity or pumped wastewater flows

- and ­

Options for crossing the Grand River to reach the Kitchener WWTP.

Evaluation Evaluation Factors Scoring of Options

Good

Poor

A preferred solution for the sewer pipe route was identified first (Part 1), then a preferred solution for transferring wastewater was identified (Part 2).

Part 1 Evaluation of Routes

Pipeline Route B is currently the preferred option Key advantages include:

Shortest overall length (and therefore cost) Avoids impacts to important natural features Mostly located within existing public utility corridors and roads to minimize impacts to the community

Part 2 Wastewater Transfer Options

Option 1 Option 2 Option 3 Gravity sewer and pumping Gravity sewer and pumping Gravity sewer only

station in the Deer Ridge station at Kitchener Wastewater with a dedicated service bridge Subdivision Treatment Plant across the Grand River

Three wastewater transfer options were evaluated

Part 2 - Evaluation of Wastewater Transfer Options

Option 3 is currently the preferred solution • Key advantages include:

No pumping station required Lower capital and operating cost Lower risk of impacts to the Grand River

Factors Affecting Timing

The timing for construction will depend on: • rate of population growth; and • wastewater flows

The Wastewater Treatment Master Plan is currently underway to estimate the timing for construction of the long term solution
