Notice of Completion
Prescott Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion
The Town of Prescott owns and operates the Prescott Wastewater Collection and Wastewater Treatment Plant. The wastewater system currently services all of the Town of Prescott, the industrial park in the Township of Edwardsburgh-Cardinal and developments in the Township of Augusta along the boundary with the Town. The Town of Prescott (Prescott) and the Township of Augusta (Augusta) have further investigated the needs of the existing Prescott Wastewater Collection System and Prescott Wastewater Treatment Plant to determine the upgrades that are required to maintain the system in operation and then to expand the system further to the west.
The scope for the expansion of the system will include the expansion of the WWTP, modifications to Sewage Pumping Station #5, two new Sewage Pumping Stations in Augusta along with the main trunk sewer and water transmission main.
The Town has planned this project through the Schedule “C” process of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2023). As such, public and technical agency consultation played a key role in developing the study recommendations.
An Environmental Study Report (ESR) documenting the planning process undertaken, details of the study recommendations as well as potential impacts and mitigation measures, has been completed and is being made available for public review. Subject to comments received following this Notice and the receipt of approvals, the Town intends to proceed with construction of the recommended project as outlined in the ESR.
The ESR is available for review on the Town’s website (www.prescott.ca) and at the Town Hall (360 Dibble Street West) during regular hours of operation Monday to Friday.
Interested persons may provide written comments to our project team by January 15, 2026. All comments and concerns should be sent directly to the Town of Prescott at the 360 Dibble Street West, P.O. Box 160, Prescott, ON K0E 1T0, marmstrong@prescott.ca.
