Sewer Infrastructure Master Plan For The City of Kingston Urban Area

The objective of the Sewer Infrastructure Master Plan is to create a guiding document for future improvements to the sanitary and combined sewer system servicing the City of Kingston to meet existing regulations and future capacity and treatment requirements toward a sustainable utility.

This project will provide a roadmap for sewer infrastructure work over the next 20 years. The study will focus on maximizing the effectiveness of existing infrastructure and identifying the most efficient approach to servicing existing and new development by prioritizing expenditures.

The study is being conducted in accordance with the requirements for Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, as amended in 2007). Phase 1 of The Class EA process involves identification of the problem or opportunity to be addressed by the project. Phase 2 of the process identifies alternative solutions to addressing the goals of the project.

A cohesive Master Plan is required to guide the Utilities' efforts to:

  • Advance the goal of containment/virtual elimination of combined sewer overflows
  • Maximize the effectiveness of the existing sewer system
  • Provide adequate system capacity to meet growth-based demand to the year 2026
  • Prioritize large scale capital improvements to the sewer system
  • Provide information to stakeholders on issues and challenges associated with Kingston's unique sewer system

This project website will be maintained and grow through the course of the project. Pertinent documentation and notifications will posted here
