• Expansion required by 2031-<br />

2036 under baseline scenario<br />

• Future WWTF capacity would<br />

need to increase under high<br />

scenario. Current expansion<br />

timing would need to<br />

accelerate.<br />

• Future WWTF capacity would<br />

decrease under low scenario.<br />

Current expansion timing could<br />

be delayed.<br />

At this stage the updated HRM <strong>Regional</strong> Plan is still under formulation and the current<br />

planning projections are an extrapolated estimate. Once these planning estimates are<br />

confirmed the water and wastewater functional plans should be reviewed and updated<br />

as needed. The sensitivity of the plans to growth should be re-evaluated at this point.<br />
