OPEN HOUSE - May 30, 2024 at the Michipicoten Memorial Community Centre
Invitation to Public Open House Municipal Class Environmental Assessment
Wawa Drinking Water System Rehabilitation - The Corporation of the Municipality of Wawa
The Municipality of Wawa initiated the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) for improvements to the municipal drinking water system. Drinking Water is sourced from Wawa Lake through an intake pipeline that terminates in the raw water pumping station situated near the shoreline of Wawa Lake and the Municipality has determined that the existing raw water intake facilities, including intake pipe, have deteriorated with age and are in need of replacement. Proposed improvements will also provide flushing capability to the existing Michipicoten River Village treated water transmission main.
The study is being undertaken as a Schedule B project in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (“Class EA”). Since publishing the Notice of Commencement, the Municipality has completed Phase 1 of the MCEA (identify problem or opportunity), conducted inspections of the duty and emergency intake pipes and intake structures and are now completing Phase 2 of the MCEA (identify alternative solutions), which includes soliciting input from the public.
Public Open House
A public open house presenting a summary of the MCEA work carried out to date and providing opportunity for input, will be held at the Michipicoten Memorial Community Centre on May 30, 2024 from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. All are welcome and encouraged to attend.
