Notice of Study Commencement & PIC 1 for Greensville Water Supply System EA
The City of Hamilton has initiated a Schedule ‘C’ Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) study for the Greensville Rural Settlement Area (RSA), to provide improvements to the Greensville Drinking Water System (DWS). The DWS is currently supplied by one groundwater-sourced municipal well and pumping/treatment station (FDG01) which is not equipped with a backup water supply, and several components of the existing FDG01 system are reaching end of life. FDG01 is operating safely and effectively, however, it does not meet the City’s current outstation design manual criteria.
In 2022, the City completed a Constructability and Risk Assessment which identified alternatives for a backup water supply. The assessment identified the implementation of a new municipal communal well and pumping station with water storage could provide reliable water supply and quality to the Greensville RSA and meet the City’s outstation design manual criteria.
The Study
The purpose of this study is to determine the preferred servicing scenario with a backup water supply, and location of the new well and new pumping station within Johnson Tew Park if required.
This project is being conducted in accordance with the requirements of Schedule ‘C’ projects as outlined in the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment document (2023), which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.
How to Participate
A Public Information Centre (PIC) is being held to present background information, alternative solutions and evaluation criteria for the study. There will be a live virtual meeting held on Wednesday, October 11, 2023, from 6 to 8 pm. The project team will provide an overview presentation of the project and will be available to answer questions. The event will be held using the Microsoft Teams platform where individuals can participate online or by phone. Pre-registration is required. Register your attendance
The meeting will be recorded and made available on the Greensville DWS EA project website following the live event. Visit the project webpage anytime from October 11 to November 10, 2023, to view the information.
