Water and Wastewater Master Plan Update
Class Enviornmental Assessment Report

The Town of Tecumseh completed a Water and Wastewater Servicing Master Plan in 2002 and an amendment in 2005. The completed Master Plan and amendment identify the long-term water and wastewater servicing strategies and associated capital projects to serve the urban settlement areas in the Town of Tecumseh. The Town of Tecumseh has retained KMK Consultants Limited to undertake an update to the existing Master Plan.

The Water and Wastewater Master Plan Update is a key component in the integrated planning process and is intended to consolidate the Town’s water and wastewater servicing strategies and capital program based on updated planning information, new water and wastewater service agreements with the City of Windsor, updated design criteria and updated project information.

This update is being undertaken in accordance the Municipal Engineer Association (MEA) Class Environmental Assessment (EA) process for Master Plans with extensive public and agency participation.

The focus of the Water and Wastewater Master Plan Update consists of the evaluation of the water distribution and wastewater collection systems for the Town of Tecumseh. The analysis undertaken as part of this study deals primarily with the trunk infrastructure for the water and wastewater systems ultimately serviced by the water and wastewater treatment plants located within the City of Windsor. This infrastructure consists of the trunk watermains and sewers, major pumping stations and water storage facilities.

The purpose of the Water and Wastewater Master Plan Update is to use revised best planning population estimates for the Town of Tecumseh within the 2028 planning horizon to provide a technical review of the 2002 and 2005 water and wastewater servicing strategies. The review recommends necessary strategy, updates to project phasing and updates to capital cost estimates which in turn will feed into the Development Charges process. This update is a critical component in the integrated planning process and is intended to consolidate and harmonize the Town's water and wastewater servicing strategies and capital program for the North and South Service Areas based on updated planning information, new water and wastewater service agreements with the City of Windsor, updated design criteria and updated project information.
