The Craigleith Wastewater Treatment Plant (CWWTP) located on Long Point Road requires modifications and upgrades to meet the projected demands of the Craigleith area. In 2023, the Town completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment to evaluate and select the preferred solutions. These solutions are:

Design and construction of a new sewage lift station and septage receiving station at the CWWTP
Installation of new gravity sewer, and replacement of existing forcemain and watermain on Long Point Road between Highway 26 and the CWWTP
Implementation of various facility modifications and upgrades

Preliminary design and engineering has been completed. The Town released the RFP for the final design, tender preparation and contract administration in February 2025.

Why Now?
The Town’s sanitary sewer collection and pumping infrastructure within the Craigleith area requires upgrades and enhancements to meet the projected demands of growth in a sustainable manner.

Project Updates

February 23, 2026 - Geotechnical investigations upcoming

GEI Consultants plan to begin drilling geotechnical boreholes this week to gather information to help inform the engineering design. Borehole work is expected to be ongoing until late March, and will be happening along Long Point Road between Highway 26 and Brophy's Lane, and on the first 120 metres of Brophy's Lane west of Long Point Road. Temporary lane restrictions will be in place requiring vehicles to yield to oncoming traffic as the work is being completed.

Public Consultation

Two Public Information Centres were held during the Environmental Assessment process to select the preferred solutions. There are no additional Public Meetings or Information Centres expected to be held during the detailed and final design phases. Questions can be sent to the Town's Manager of Water & Wastewater.
