Orleans Watermain
Notice of Completion
Class Environmental Assessment Report Available for Review
The City of Ottawa has completed a Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) study for the Orléans Watermain Link. This project is needed to improve the reliability of water supply to the East Urban Community, and to provide additional transmission capacity needed to accommodate future urban growth. This project has been planned as Schedule ‘B’ projects under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment document (2007). The purpose of the Class EA study was to confirm project need and justification, document existing environmental conditions, examine alternatives and potential impacts, and recommend a preferred route for the watermain.
