The public can learn more about development growth and the impact on water and wastewater infrastructure in Prince Edward County during an online information session on April 20.
A significant increase in new home development within the County’s towns and villages is anticipated over the next five years. The information session will focus on the ways in which the municipality will maintain existing water and wastewater infrastructure and expand services to keep pace with development demand.
Directors Peter Moyer (Development Services), Don Caza (Water and Wastewater Services), and Amanda Carter (Finance) will present during the information session. They will provide more details on the expected growth, explain the infrastructure needs to meet that growth, and outline the tools the municipality has to pay for replacing and building new water and wastewater infrastructure.
The upcoming information session is also intended to help educate the public and provide greater context for Council’s decision-making in the coming months. Specifically, the municipality will consider new water rates before the current rates expire in December 2021.
The information session, which will take place virtually due to COVID-19 restrictions, will stream live on the from 6-8 pm. A recording of the information session will be made available to the public.
