KINCARDINE, ON - Over the past several days, residents have raised questions about the recent tree removal related to the Tiverton Water Supply project and the booster pumping station being constructed in Inverhuron. These questions are understandable, and it is important that the community has clear information about the project and the decisions that have been made.

The Municipality’s 2023 Water and Wastewater Master Plan found that the Tiverton Drinking Water System is already operating close to its capacity and will not be able to support future growth. In addition, parts of the existing well system are aging and will eventually require major upgrades.

To ensure a safe, reliable drinking water supply for residents now and into the future, the Municipality reviewed several long-term options through an Environmental Assessment process.  This process included opportunities for public to input through Public Information Centres and written submissions.

Council carefully considered the feedback received, along with the technical analysis and the range of alternatives studied. Based on this information, Council directed staff to proceed with the preferred solution: constructing a booster pumping station and connecting the Tiverton system to the Kincardine Drinking Water System at 3194 Bruce Road 15 (Inverhuron Park).

A booster station is a facility that pumps treated drinking water to a higher elevation. Tiverton sits higher than Inverhuron, therefore water must be pumped uphill through the new watermain.

Council selected this option as connecting to the Kincardine system would provide a reliable, long-term water supply for the community with sufficient capacity to support future growth, while reducing reliance on aging wells. It is also more cost-effective than expanding the existing well system.

To prepare the site for construction and to ensure the work occurred before the protected bird nesting window begins in April, tree removal was completed last week. Completing this work now helps avoid delays to the project.

The Municipality’s tree policy requires that two trees be planted for every one tree removed. Replanting will occur as the project progresses, helping ensure the park continues to be a welcoming and green space for residents and visitors.

Municipal staff are implementing the direction provided by Council and have acted within that authority. Staff are also preparing a report outlining available funding options and the financial implications for Council’s consideration

Community discussion is an important part of local decision-making. At the same time, ensuring residents have accurate information about the project and the process helps support informed conversations.

Residents who would like additional information are encouraged to visit the Tiverton Water Supply System Expansion Project | Municipality of Kincardine or contact the Mayor’s office.
