Pressure District 2/3 Water Storage Tank
The Study
The City of Brantford, with its consultant AECOM Canada Ltd., has initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study for a Pressure District 2/3 Water Storage Tank. The need for increased water storage capacity within the Water Distribution System was identified in the recent City of Brantford Water, Wastewater and Stormwater Master Servicing Plan Update - 2051 Amendment (2021) , and is required to meet planned growth, including within the City’s new settlement area.
The study will evaluate various alternatives to address the need for additional storage within the distribution system which may potentially include a new water storage tank, transmission watermains and modifications to existing pumping stations, to meet future service area demands.
