- Water and Wastewater Servicing Master Plan - 2023-99.pdf
Staff ask Council to approve an updated long-range plan for Guelph's water pipes and sewage collection system — pump stations, watermains, storage tanks and forcemains — and to file the required environmental assessment notice. The plan updates work last done in 2008, looks at growth to 2051 and beyond, and identifies projects to relieve capacity limits. Costs would be fed into water and wastewater rate models and the multi-year budget.

11:39Yes, please. The stormwater master plan, please.
11:42So we will move the stormwater management master plan to after the presentation on water services annual report and summary report as we have staff will be presenting on that one.
11:52So, I'm leaving on consent, the water and wastewater servicing master plan. Do I have a mover?
12:03Councillor O'Rourke. Councillor Boussitil seconds that. Any opposed?
12:10So that passes unanimously to staff. Just because it passes on consent doesn't mean we don't recognize the massive body of work that it is.
12:18And also the critical importance to climate change mitigation and to ensure that as our community grows, we can grow in a green way.
12:28So that's the key to that work on community resiliency.
12:32Okay, we are going then to item 8.1, water services annual report and summary report with a presentation by our general manager of environmental services, Nectar Tamca Kapoulos.
12:46You'll have to brief me on that, sorry.
12:49Also our manager of water services, Wayne Gallagher and supervisor compliance and performance, Kristen Pressie.
12:56And as critical as elected members have a duty of care on the safety and security of our water services. Over to you gentlemen.
