Notice Of Project Initiation
| Municipal Portable Water Storage |
|
The Township of Asphodel-Norwood (the Township) has initiated a planning process to assess alternative potable water storage solutions for the Village of Norwood (Village). Currently, the Village’s potable water system provides water to a population of approximately 2,100 people. A 2020 Infrastructure Assessment Report by Engage Engineering identified significant growth potential in the Village over the next 10-20 years and beyond. As such, the Township is considering infrastructure upgrades to ensure sufficient and reliable service for the community as it grows. The Village’s existing drinking water supply system consists of four groundwater wells, a recently upgraded chlorine disinfection water treatment plant, one municipal water tower (standpipe) and a dedicated distribution system. As part of the Municipal Environmental Assessment (Class EA) process for reviewing the Potable Water Storage, public comment during the evaluation of alternative solutions will be requested. The Township is planning to conduct one public information session during the course of the study. Notice of the session will be provided in advance. Project information will be made available to the public on our website. |
