Utilities Kingston has initiated a Master Plan Study to identify improvements and works required to meet the water supply needs of the City of Kingston urban area. The Master Plan study area and planning horizon are based on the preferred growth scenario and projections identified in the City of Kingston's Urban Growth Strategy - Final Report (July 2004).

The Master Plan approach is intended to provide an inter-related study of the Kingston West, Kingston Central and East water treatment and supply systems/facilities and an assessment of the city's water supply requirements. Utilities Kingston wishes to optimize existing system resources, and identify works and modifications that will implement a cohesive water treatment and distribution plan.

Utilities Kingston has retained Simcoe Engineering Group Limited to complete the Master Plan Study for Water Supply for the City of Kingston. This Master Plan Study will proceed to the end of Phase 1 and Phase 2 all in accordance with the Master Planning requirements under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment, June 2000, up to selection of the preferred alternative to allow confirmation of the required schedule to proceed with development of alternative design concepts.
