The City of Stratford is updating the 2003 Sanitary Master Plan to ensure the City’s sanitary sewer infrastructure continues to support the growing Stratford community now and in the future.

The Master Plan update will review and analyze existing conditions and plan for Stratford’s projected population growth. The Master Plan will define needed improvements or increases to the current system’s capacity, and identify opportunities for improving efficiency.

The Sanitary Master Plan develops a 20-year guide to capital projects and program implementation, prioritizes opportunities for infrastructure renewal projects, and identifies the cost of proposed infrastructure improvements in a 5-year plan.

This EA study will be undertaken as a Master Plan in accordance with the planning and design process as outlined in the Municipal Class EA document which is an approved process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. This Master Plan is intended to satisfy the documentation and consultation requirements for Phase 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class EA process.

    The Study

    The City of Stratford is updating the 2003 Sanitary Master Plan. The goal is to ensure the City’s sanitary sewer infrastructure can support current and future needs of the growing Stratford community.

    This Master Plan study:

    • Reviews existing wastewater servicing infrastructure
    • Assesses future conditions and servicing needs
    • Identifies and evaluates solutions to meet growth plans

    Alternative solutions have been developed and evaluated to find the preferred wastewater and stormwater servicing strategies for both existing and future developments.

    Study Process

    This study follows the Master Planning process under Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA), as outlined by the Municipal Engineers Association (2023 guidelines). A Master Plan document will be prepared as part of this process.
