Cumberland Kicks Off Final Stage Of Liquid Waste Management Plan

The long-term plan for wastewater management in the Village of Cumberland is moving into its final stage this fall.

The Liquid Waste Management Plan - a long-term plan required by the Province - began in 2016 with Stages 1 and 2 completed in 2018.

That plan mapped out critical next steps for the Wastewater Upgrade Project, and the Village turned its focus to the urgent and necessary improvements for the wastewater treatment lagoons.

The Village is now looping back to the final step in the process – Stage 3, to be completed by the end of this year - is largely focused on ‘wrapping up’ the intensive planning work of earlier stages: reporting back to the community about the plan ahead, completing the environmental impact study, and completing the operational certificate process for wastewater management into the future.

Cumberland residents are invited to learn more and offer their input by attending one of two information sessions being held on September 26th in Council Chambers, both covering the same material, including a presentation and Q&A session.

The first session runs from 4:45pm to 5:45pm and session two goes from 6pm to 7pm.

An online engagement page has also been created at Engage Cumberland.
