Wastewater Treatment and Biosolids Management Master Plan
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinEmail this link
The goal of the Wastewater Treatment and Biosolids Management Master Plan is to ensure the City’s wastewater (everything flushed down your sinks, drains, and toilets) is managed in a way that is sustainable, protects our waterways and the environment. The Master Plan is the City's long-term plan that will look at how the City is currently managing Guelph's wastewater and how we can continue to meet the demands of Guelph's growing population now until 2051.
The master plan will consider:
Advances in treatment technologies.
Changes in wastewater treatment plant infrastructure needs and legislation.
Sustainable and cost efficient wastewater treatment concepts that mitigate climate change and contribute to reaching the City’s goal of using 100 per cent renewable energy sources by 2050.
Guelph’s growing population and it’s impact on the wastewater treatment process and Speed River’s capacity.
How it will contribute to achieving the strategic priorities set out through the City’s Strategic Plan.
At the first virtual open house and online survey, the City presented and discussed what challenges Guelph is facing with regards to the wastewater treatment facility, proposed options for addressing challenges and what evaluation criteria will be used when making final decisions.
After hearing from Guelph residents and through careful assessment, the City is ready to present options for addressing Guelph’s wastewater challenges and wants further input. Here’s how you can get involved and help shape the Master Plan:
Visit the second virtual open house: attend the virtual open house to learn what the Master Plan aims to do, what challenges the City is facing and how it impacts you and the rest of our community.
Take the online surveys: answer survey questions by (June 11) to share your feedback and ideas.

Introduction. The Wastewater Treatment and Biosolids Management Master Plan evaluated the anticipated growth for the City of Guelph to 2051 and determined that upgrades to the existing treatment facility are required to meet future needs. The City hosted the first of two Public Open Houses in the Fall 2020, which presented the needs identified for the City to meet anticipated growth. The City identified a range of alternative solutions to address future needs, evaluated the alternative solutions, and has identified the preliminary preferred solutions.
Purpose. The purpose of this Public Open House is to present the preferred recommended solutions, the decision-making process used to reach these recommendations, and to receive feedback on both the clarity and outcome of the process.
