The Town of The Blue Mountains has scheduled Public Information Centre (PIC) #2 for the Bay Street East Reconstruction project.
The virtual meeting will be held via Microsoft Teams on Tuesday, Dec. 17 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The meeting will include a public comment and question period. All those interested in the project are invited to attend. Pre-registration is required and can be done so online here.
The town needs to install a secondary sanitary forcemain from the Mill Street Pumping Station to the Thornbury Wastewater Treatment Plant (TWWTP) to service growth in the west portion of the municipality. The secondary forcemain will begin at the Mill Street Sewage Pumping Station and follow Bay Street East to Grey Street, and then proceed south on Grey Street to the treatment plant.
The town’s Asset Management Plan indicates that the sanitary sewer and watermain on Bay Street is in poor to very poor condition and is approaching the end of its useful life.
Considering that Bay Street will be significantly disturbed from Mill Street to Grey Street for the installation of the secondary forcemain, this provides a good opportunity to reconstruct the entire road to ensure that the watermain, sewers and stormwater systems are updated and adequate for the next 50-75 years. The project will also see the installation of a new outfall pipe on Grey Street from the TWWTP to Georgian Bay.
