Norwich Wastewater Treatment Plant capacity expansion Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study

Oxford County has identified the need to increase capacity of the Norwich Wastewater Treatment Plant to serviceexisting needs and future projected population and employment growth to 2046 in the Village of Norwich.

About the study

In response to approved future growth in the Village of Norwich and associated projected increases in Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) flow rates, Oxford County is undertaking a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Study for capacity expansion of the Norwich WWTP. More specifically, the purpose of the study is to comprehensively develop, evaluate and select a preferred long-term wastewater servicing solution and design alternative to service existing needs and future projected population and employment growth to 2046.

The study is being carried out in accordance with the planning and design process for Schedule C projects as outlined in the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2023), approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.

We want to hear from you

Consultation with stakeholders is a key component of the study process and input will be sought throughout the study. A virtual (online) Public Consultation Centre (PCC) is being held to provide a project update, present the evaluation criteria for selecting the preferred servicing solution, and present the preferred solution. This is the second PCC for the project, with the first held in June 2022.
