The community of Arthur is a growing urban community located within the Township of Wellington North (Township) that is serviced by municipal water, sanitary and stormwater systems. A Technical Study of the existing conditions of Arthur’s water and sanitary systems was completed in November 2020 to review the adequacy of these systems to meet the needs of the existing community and to service future development. As a result of the Technical Study and subsequent updates, it has been determined that the existing Arthur water system requires water supply redundancy and additional water storage to support expected population growth and has therefore initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for the Arthur Water System. The existing water supply wells and towers in Arthur’s water system are shown on the map below.
The project is being planned following the Schedule B process in the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Municipal Engineers Association, March 2023) to identify and evaluate alternatives to address the water supply and storage requirements and select a preferred alternative. Consultation with affected or interested stakeholders and Indigenous Communities is a key element in the planning process.
For further information on the project, or on the planning process being followed, to be added to the study mailing list or to share information for consideration and influence in the decision-making process, please contact one of the Project Team members listed below. Initial comments are welcomed and will be received until September 14, 2023.

Update August 18, 2023: The rehabilitation of the Mount Forest Standpipe has been completed and the standpipe is now back in service.

Purpose of the Project
During recent inspections of the Standpipe it was identified that the interior lining and exterior coating require replacement. The rehabilitation of the Standpipe will extend the life of this component of our water infrastructure for another 30 years (approx.).Project Funding
In 2021, Council approved a capital project to rehabilitate the Standpipe. Mid-way through 2021, the government released the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) grant application specific to water and wastewater projects. A grant application was submitted for the rehabilitation of the Standpipe which the Township was successful in obtaining.Project Funding 2021 Capital Budget
$950,000.00
Federal ICIP Grant
$451,000.00

The Standpipe rehabilitation project was awarded to Dayson Industrial Services Inc. in the amount of $1,545,727.00.
Water Conservation Measures for the Duration of the Project
The Mount Forest Standpipe will be out of service beginning Wednesday May 17th, 2023 for rehabilitation work. Mount Forest water users are asked to conserve water and limit any unnecessary usage in an effort to reduce the demand on the water system during this time. Homes with even house numbers are permitted outdoor water usage on even calendar days and homes with odd house numbers are permitted outdoor water usage on odd calendar days, both between the hours of 6:00am and 9:00am and 7:00pm and 10:00pm.
