Notice of Completion: Dundas Street Water Booster Pumping Station Class Environmental Assessment (EA)

Project Overview

The Municipality of Brighton has completed the Schedule B Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed Dundas Street Water Booster Pumping Station.

The study was undertaken to identify a preferred location and servicing strategy for a new booster pumping station that will improve water system capacity, reliability, and fire protection while supporting future residential and institutional growth in the northeast area of Brighton. The new facility will replace the existing booster pumping station located in the boulevard at 100 Dundas Street.

Study Findings

The completed Environmental Assessment evaluated alternative locations and servicing solutions while considering:

• Environmental and natural heritage impacts
• Technical feasibility
• Property requirements
• Construction and lifecycle costs
• Integration with the existing municipal water distribution system
• Long-term servicing needs and planned growth

Following completion of the study and consultation with agencies, Indigenous communities, and the public, a preferred solution has been identified.

Notice of Completion

The Project File Report has been completed in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, as amended and under the Municipal Engineers Association's 2023 Municipal Class EA process).
