Project Description
The Town is updating its 2012 Pollution Prevention Control Plan (PPCP), a strategic plan that identifies and addresses issues in the wastewater collection system to reduce pollution, protect water quality, and improve infrastructure performance. This update will review past recommendations, assess completed work, and create a long-term plan to manage wastewater services for Niagara-on-the-Lake through 2051 and beyond.
The study will follow Approach #1 of the Master Planning process under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA), as established by the Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) and approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act (October 2000; amended 2007, 2011, 2015, 2023).
Objectives
The PPCP Update will provide a strategic plan and sewer management recommendations to:
Measure current service levels and identify options to maintain, monitor, and improve them.
Review the current inflow and infiltration (I&I) reduction program and explore additional methods to reduce extraneous flows.
Enhance operation, maintenance, and sustainability of the wastewater collection system.
Develop a comprehensive capital program to meet current needs and support future growth.
Public Involvement
Public Engagement Opportunity
Residents are encouraged to get involved by watching a pre-recorded presentation, which will be available on this project page from March 25 to April 8, 2026, and leave comments during that time. The pre-recorded presentation will provide an overview of the study and the alternative solutions being considered. No registration is required to view or comment.
Participants can:
View the presentation and supporting materials online starting March 25
Submit your comments through this project website to help inform the final PPCP report by April 8
All materials will remain available on the project website following the comment period, and a final PPCP report will be released for public review and comment.
A final PPCP report detailing the study process will be released for public review and comment.
Why This Matters to You
Updating the PPCP benefits our community by:
Protecting local water quality in our lakes, rivers, and streams.
Reducing the risk of pollution from wastewater overflows.
Improving system reliability so homes and businesses are better served.
Planning for growth to ensure infrastructure keeps up with future needs.
Making smart investments by prioritizing upgrades and maintenance where they’re most needed.
