Project overview
In 2022, Niagara Region completed a Schedule B Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study for the Rosehill Water Treatment Plant new intake pipe. As part of the original Environmental Assessment, a Public Information Centre was held to get input from the public and stakeholders.
The Rosehill Water Treatment Plant is located at 300 Rosehill Rd. in Fort Erie.
The Region is starting a Class Environmental Assessment Addendum for the Rosehill Water Treatment Plant intake and outfall. This is to update the preferred solution from 2022. The change aims to improve how the new intake and infrastructure are built and phased.
The Rosehill intake pipe is a key asset within the Niagara Region water infrastructure system. It extends into Lake Erie and is located at the south end of Rosehill Road. It needs of replacement as a result of aging infrastructure.
The project is being carried out under the Environmental Assessment Act. It will identify and evaluate alternatives, considering environmental, social, cultural, financial and technical impacts, along with mitigation measures.
Consultation with the public, Indigenous communities, regulatory agencies and stakeholder groups is important to this study. We will advertise the Public Information Centre in local newspapers and on our website and social media.
