The City of Kitchener is undertaking an Integrated Sanitary Master Plan. The purpose of this Master Plan is to examine the City’s sanitary infrastructure needs in light of new planning policies, growth projections, and the current needs and issues that exist in our community. The Study is being undertaken within the City limits, as shown on the map.

The Master Plan will review existing conditions, develop an assessment of alternative solutions for sanitary servicing, and identify the preferred alternative to support planned growth across the City. The preferred alternative will be identified following a technical review of alternatives, as well as input received from agencies, Indigenous communities and stakeholders.

This EA Study is being undertaken as a Master Plan in accordance with the planning and design process as outlined in the Municipal Class EA document (2000, as amended) which is an approved process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. This Master Plan is intended to satisfy the documentation and consultation requirements for Phase 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class EA process.
