KAWARTHA LAKES-Council received the completed Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Anne Street and Front Street Sewage Pumping Station (SPS) upgrades. Officials say these upgrades are needed to support future growth north of the Bobcaygeon River and to address existing infrastructure limitations.
Key decisions from the EA study include:
- Anne Street SPS: full replacement of the existing pumping station, including a new control building and a new forcemain along the current route to the Bobcaygeon Water Pollution Control Plant. This upgrade addresses capacity constraints during high flows and future residential and commercial growth.
- Front Street SPS: upgrades to the existing station including pumps, piping, electrical systems, and forcemain to improve aging infrastructure and accommodate new developments.
These upgrades ensure the municipality’s wastewater system can safely and efficiently service current residents and future growth, while addressing aging infrastructure.
Construction is planned for 2027, pending Council approval of the Water and Wastewater Capital Budget
