Sanitary Servicing Overview - City of Kitchener

Page 2 of 3
The Engineering Division assessed the current service area for the MSTSS and the South
Strasburg Trunk Sanitary Sewer (SSTSS) including an investigation of our sanitary capacity
model. A total population assigned to the overall study area is approximately 71,000 people
which include the lands within the Rosenberg Secondary Plan and all other urban lands within
the respective drainage areas.
Lands within the study area located to the northeast of Huron and Fischer Hallman Road and
north of Williamsburg Cemetery are assigned to the MSTSS. All future developments located
south of Huron Road, such as the Becker Estates Subdivision and a portion of the DPA Huron
Woods Subdivision has been assigned to the SSTSS. Lands located west of Fischer Hallman
Road between Huron Road and the Williamsburg Cemetery is assigned to the MSTSS or
combination of the MSTSS and the SSTSS.
This approach maximizes the MSTSS while accounting for the decommissioning of the existing
Temporary Pumping Station (TPS) located on Bleams Road. This TPS currently provides
service for the Norris-Sternberg and Williamsburg Subdivisions via the Borden Trunk Sewer.
Upon extension of the MSTSS peak sanitary flows from the Norris-Sternberg and Williamsburg
Subdivisions will be diverted from Borden Trunk Sewer to the MSTSS thereby eliminating the
TPS on Bleams Road.
Due to the high level assessment of this sanitary servicing analysis, some details are required to
be addressed in order to best plan for, and utilize, future and existing municipal infrastructure.
Areas that require further assessment include any future connection points to the MSTSS, as
well as any areas which may necessitate the extension of the existing local municipal system. In
recognition of the fact that some lands within the study area have options with respect to
sanitary servicing and that other lands do not, the City will identify whether further studies and/or
Class Environmental Assessments are warranted. The Landowner will be required to do further
studies and/or Environmental Assessments at the Draft Plan of Subdivision stage. These
conditions will apply to lands located south of the cemetery and north of Huron Road. Although
these lands have been assigned to the MSTSS, the exact connection location and any
extension of or upgrade to existing infrastructure has yet to be determined.
Conclusions and Recommendations
Based on the assessment completed to date the following conclusions and recommendations
are provided:
- All development land parcels north of Huron Road as designated on the Rosenberg Secondary
Plan have been assigned to the Middle Strasburg Trunk Sanitary Sewer;
- The capacity of the Middle Strasburg Trunk Sanitary Sewer has been maximized to
accommodate the lands within Rosenberg Community Secondary Plan, and the existing and
Draft Plan Approved subdivisions developments;
- The Temporary Pumping Station located on Bleams Road is to be decommissioned at such
time that the Middle Strasburg Trunk Sanitary Sewer becomes available to service the Norris-
Sternberg and Williamsburg Subdivisions;
