The Town of Saugeen Shores is updating the Water and Wastewater Servicing Master Plan for the communities of Port Elgin and Southampton. The Master Plan was last updated in 2020 and since that time, the Town has experienced significant residential and non-residential growth.

The update to the Master Plan will involve a review of existing water treatment, distribution, storage infrastructure, and sanitary sewage collection and treatment infrastructure. The study will also include a review of future growth forecasts and potential future water and wastewater servicing requirements to 2044 as they relate to key infrastructure.

Upon completion, the Master Plan will serve as a strategic document for the continued provision of water and wastewater services that will integrate with other major planning, development, and financing plans and policies. The Master Plan will also identify recommended projects and outline estimated timelines or triggers for implementation.
