Angus IMP Municipal Class EA - Notice of Addendum - Water Supply & Storage

Greenland Consulting Engineers and the Township of Essa have completed an Addendum to the Schedule ‘B’ Class EA Infrastructure Master Plan (IMP) for the Community of Angus, focusing on Water Supply and Storage solutions in Angus. The IMP identified preferred water and wastewater infrastructure solutions to support development over the next 25 years which was completed in 2022. The purpose of the Class EA Addendum was to complete additional technical analysis and background investigations to verify the feasibility of preferred water supply and storage solutions identified in the Angus IMP and to re-evaluate and prioritize solutions and associated projects for implementation going forward. 

The Class EA Addendum was completed in accordance with the Municipal Class EA process for Schedule ‘B’ projects as defined by the Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) Class EA documentation. The report documents the process of developing technically and economically feasible solutions and project prioritizations to ensure adequate water supply and storage for the growing Angus community. These proposed solutions were also assessed in terms of their social, cultural, and environmental impacts.

The updated preferred solutions include construction of an elevated storage reservoir and development of a new well, both at the existing Township owned Mill St. well site.

Additional details are provided in the Class EA Addendum report, which is posted on the Township’s website (https://www.essatownship.on.ca/) for public review for a duration of approximately thirty (30) days, ending 10th January 2024.
