Integrated Sanitary Master Plan
Did you know there are over 800km of sanitary sewer mains underneath our city?
What issues or concerns do you have about our existing sanitary infrastructure?
What do we need to consider to expand that infrastructure as our community grows?

The City is creating an Integrated Sanitary Master Plan to make sure we meet our sanitary service needs now and in the future. We will be reviewing existing conditions and developing an assessment of alternative solutions. You will have the opportunity to give input on the project objectives and on the proposed alternative solutions.
