Georgian Communities is undertaking an investigation to upgrade the existing Nottawa Municipal Water System by replacing the existing water treatment plant with a new treatment plant and reservoir, and adding two (2) additional municipal supply wells to the existing system. Refer to the figure below.
As a result, a Schedule ‘C’ Class Environmental Assessment (EA) under the Municipal Class EA process is underway to identify a solution for this water servicing expansion. Georgian Communities is the proponent of the study, with the Township of Clearview a key stakeholder.
Expansion alternatives were evaluated with the preferred solution presented at the first Public Information Centre (PIC #1) as:
- Expansion of the McKean WTP within the proposed Georgian Communities Nottawa Development, which includes:
- New Reservoir & Pumphouse
- 2 new municipal wells
- Decommissioning of the existing reservoir
A second PIC (PIC #2) is being held to provide an update on the study progress, the evaluation of Alternative Designs, and the selection of the preliminary preferred Alternative Design concept.
Public Information Centre

This study is being undertaken in accordance with the requirements of Schedule C projects, as outlined in the Municipal Class EA document (February 2024) which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. The next step in the project will be preparation of an Environmental Study Report (ESR) to document the EA process, consultation activities, and the evaluation. The ESR will be made available for a 30-day public comment period at that time.
Please contact a member of the project team below to ask questions about the PIC materials, provide comments, or, to be added to the study contact list. Comments are requested to be sent by April 4, 2026.
