NOTICE of Completion of Master Servicing Plan
The Town of Collingwood has completed a Water and Sanitary Sewer System Master Plan to develop a comprehensive and flexible Master Servicing Plan that identifies the water and sanitary infrastructure projects necessary to service growth to the year 2031 and beyond.
The study followed the Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) Class Environmental Assessment process Approach #1, as identified in the MEA Class EA (October 2000, as amended October 2007, 2011 and 2015) document. The Master Servicing Plan carried out the requirements for Schedule A, A+, and B projects, and set the stage for future Schedule C projects. The study defined existing problems and opportunities, considered and evaluated alternative solutions and ultimately identified the preferred water and sanitary servicing requirements.
