About

The City of Barrie is updating the 2019 Wastewater Treatment Master Plan and the Wastewater Collection Master Plan to accommodate the planned growth of 298,000 people and 150,000 jobs to 2051, in accordance with the 2019 provincial Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe.

Building on to the works completed as part of the 2019 master plans, the updated Wastewater Master Plan (WWMP) will address wastewater collection and treatment requirements in one document. The WWMP 2051 will:

• Assess the existing wastewater system to identify capacity constraints and opportunities for improvement;
• Ensure wastewater services meet the current and future community needs by providing long-term and integrated wastewater servicing strategies to 2051 and beyond; and
• Recommend future infrastructure projects that will provide the required wastewater service.
