Wastewater Collection Master Plan

The purpose of the Wastewater Collection Master Plan (PDF) is to identify the preferred solution requirements to the year 2041 for collecting and conveying wastewater from homes and businesses to the wastewater treatment facility, with consideration and flexibility for ultimate build-out of Barrie.

This document is an update to the 2013 Wastewater Collection System Master Plan completed by the City. The 2013 Master Plan recommended upgrades to pumping stations, decommissioning of specific pumping stations, and new trunk sewers to service future growth. As a starting point for this Master Plan, the status of the recommendations in the 2013 Master Plan were updated.

The City’s existing wastewater collection system consists of local sanitary sewers, trunk sewers and pumping stations. The wastewater collection system terminates at the Barrie Wastewater Treatment Facility, which is the subject of the Wastewater Treatment Master Plan.
