This project is for the City of Vaughan to develop an Integrated Urban Water Master Plan Environmental Assessment Study (MPEA) to assess existing and planned urban water systems and establish a long-term strategy to provide safe, reliable and sustainable services to support revised growth projections, intensification and updates to Provincial, Regional and other City Master Plans. Population forecasts for York Region in the revised Provincial Growth Plan (2017) for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (Growth Plan), estimated residential and employment population is expected to reach 1.79 and 0.9 million respectively by 2041. Residential and employment populations were approximately 1.18 and 0.59 million respectively in 2016. It is anticipated the City of Vaughan will absorb a large proportion of this population increase.

  The Region's water transmission system is a large and complex network consisting of low-lift and high-lift pumping at the water treatment plants and pumping stations and floating storage at reservoirs and elevated tanks. The lake-based system is divided into seven pressure zones, with pumping to upper zones separated by West, Central and East zone areas. East-West hydraulic connectivity and transfer/transmission capacity is maintained in several of the zones. Water is presently pumped throughout the system via two (2) water treatment plants (WTPs) and eleven thirteen (131) pumping stations (PSs), excluding those at the WTPs.   Storage facilities include two (2) clear wells at the treatment facilities, four (4) elevated tanks (ETs) and eleven twelve (121) reservoirs. One additional ET and two additional reservoirs are planned for the future. The system comprises approximately 200 kilometres of transmission mains ranging in diameter from 600 mm to 2400 mm. Transmission and sub...
