Upcoming Public Information Centre Scheduled for February 21, 2023
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this linkThe Municipality of Central Elgin (Central Elgin) is undertaking a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Study for sanitary (wastewater) servicing in the East Side Development Area (ESDA). The ESDA consists of employment area land located within Central Elgin to the east of the City of St. Thomas. This study will identify alternatives including locations for a new Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) to support growth within the ESDA. The study will also consider the potential for a WWTP to service other nearby areas such as the former Village of Belmont (Refer to study area map).
