Coldwater WWTP Expansion project: Public Information Centre #2 to be held on May 29

Township of Severn is undertaking a Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for the expansion of the Coldwater Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) and the Main Sewage Pumping Station (SPS). The Class EA will identify and evaluate options for increasing the wastewater pumping and treatment capacity to accommodate anticipated growth in Coldwater.

The first Public Information Centre (PIC) was held in June 2023 to present details regarding wastewater infrastructure needs in Coldwater, alternative solutions for consideration, and preliminary recommendations.

A second PIC will be held in-person on May 29 to present the wastewater treatment and sewage pumping design options and the preliminary recommendations, and to acquire public feedback.

PIC details

There will be a PowerPoint presentation followed by a question-and-answer period for participants. Comments and questions can be submitted at the PIC, or using the online comment form, or by email to the contacts below. 

• Date: Thursday, May 29, 2025
• Time: 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. (presentation at 4:15 p.m.)

The presentation will be posted on the project webpage following the PIC. Comments will be accepted until June 13, 2025, and will be considered in the study. 

Following PIC #2 and upon review of comments, the preferred design concepts will be selected and included in the Environmental Study Report.
