About

The City of Barrie is updating the 2019 Water Supply Master Plan and the Water Storage and Distribution 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 Water Master Plan (WMP) will address water storage, distribution, and supply requirements in one document. The WMP 2051 will:

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