Empey Street Wastewater Pumping Station Upgrades
The Study
The City of Brantford has initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) for the upgrades to the Empey Street Wastewater Pumping Station (WWPS). The need for increasing the capacity of the Empey Street WWPS was identified in the recent City of Brantford Water, Wastewater and Stormwater Master Servicing Plan Update and is required to meet planned growth, including the areas within the City’s new settlement area.
This study evaluated various alternatives for the WWPS, which included evaluation of new construction on the existing property or an alternate property, twinning of the existing wetwell, in addition to incorporation of new twin forcemains, provision of an emergency overflow storage tank, and other upgrades to the existing WWPS necessary to meet future service area demands.
The preferred solution is to upgrade the existing Empey Street WWPS on site, incorporate new emergency storage tank and other upgrades to the existing WWPS as detailed in the Project File below. All works will be constructed on the Empey WWPS property and within the existing road right of ways.
The process
The study is being conducted in accordance with Schedule ‘B’ requirements of the Municipal Engineers Association "Municipal Class Environmental Assessment," (October 2000, as recently amended in 2015) which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.
