The study

The City of Vaughan is preparing an Urban Water Plan (previously referred to as the Integrated Urban Water Master Plan) to meet the City’s water infrastructure needs as communities continue to grow. An Environmental Assessment (EA) study is underway to assess existing and planned urban city water systems and establish a long-term strategy for water in Vaughan. Once complete, the Urban Water Plan will be the City’s long-term strategy for providing water, wastewater and stormwater management systems that are safe, reliable, resilient, environmentally sustainable and financially responsible for current and future generations.

The Urban Water Master Plan EA study is being conducted in accordance with the Master Planning process, as outlined in the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment guidelines (October 2000, amended 2007, 2011 and 2015). This approach involves the preparation of a Master Plan document at the conclusion of Phase 1 and 2 of the Class EA process.

• Location: Vaughan City Hall (2141 Major Mackenzie Dr.)
