Notice of Public Information Centre for Thornbury Water Treatment Plant Upgrades EA
The Town of The Blue Mountains would like to advise the public of an upcoming virtual Public Information Centre (PIC) that has been scheduled regarding upgrades to the Thornbury Water Treatment Plant. The Town has been advancing the East Side Water Storage and Supply Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) to address long-term water storage and supply needs in the eastern pressure zones. As part of this study, near term upgrades have been identified at the Thornbury Water Treatment Plant. As these upgrades are required under each alternative of the ongoing EA, they are being advanced independently from the overall MCEA.
Upgrades at the Water Treatment Plant are generally expected to include:
- Microfiltration membrane upgrades to existing treatment trains and potential addition of another train
- Chlorination system upgrades (chemical feed pump and storage tank)
- Clearwell upgrades for additional capacity
- High lift pump upgrades, as required and other auxiliary works within the existing water treatment plant
The PIC is being held to review the scope and potential impacts of the identified upgrades. The meeting will include a public comment and question period. All those interested in the project are invited to attend. The meeting will be recorded and posted to the project page for anyone unable to attend at the scheduled time. Pre-registration is required.
What: Virtual Public Information Centre (Microsoft Teams)
When: Tuesday, June 16, 2026 – beginning at 5:00 p.m.
