Upgrades to the Oakville Water Purification Plant

Located at the Foot of Kerr Street, in the Town of Oakville

PR-2062A

 

Halton Region proposes the following upgrades to the Oakville Water Purification Plant including the rehabilitation of sedimentation tanks, changes to the chemical and disinfection systems, provision of an ozone treatment system for taste and odour control and other miscellaneous plant upgrades to improve plant performance.

 

The planned improvements to the facility, including landscaping and architectural changes to the existing buildings will improve efficiency and aesthetics, but will not change the facility’s water treatment capacity.  Although some additional structures will be required as part of the upgrades, the bulk of the work will be constructed within the existing building envelope.  It is also anticipated that there will be no works constructed outside of the existing site footprint.

 

Community input is important to Halton, especially given the plant’s residential setting.  Halton is committed to working with residents to maintain a positive relationship with the neighbourhood during the design and construction of the planned improvements.  To obtain your input on the proposed upgrades, Halton Region will be holding a public information centre on:

 

Date:              Thursday, April 17, 2003

Time:                         5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

Location:      St. Thomas Aquinas Secondary School

124 Margaret Drive, Oakville

 

A Resident Liaison Committee will also be established for this project to work with Halton Region, the design consultant and the contractor to provide community input throughout the design and construction of the treatment plant upgrades.  If you would like to be included on the project mailing list, or have further questions with regard to the project, please visit our public information centre or contact:
