Paris Master Servicing Plan Addendum Public Information Centre

Thank you for your participation!

The Paris Master Servicing Plan Update was initiated in 2018 and finalized in 2020. Through a water system needs analysis, the Plan identified water infrastructure that is needed to accommodate the full build-out of the Paris settlement area. The Plan identified the need for additional storage to support future growth in the southern part of Paris known as Zone 3 in the Plan. Please see the map/image for more information about Zone 3. The timing of the elevated tank implementation has been accelerated in order to accommodate increased fire flow needs for the south Paris employment lands. The purpose of this addendum is to confirm the size and preferred location of the Zone 3 elevated tank with the intent of strengthening overall capacity and resiliency of the Zone 3 system and supporting the need of existing and future users.

Engage with Us!  If you have questions, please contact staff on the right side menu. 

Public consultation is an important component of this project. The County invited residents, agencies and interested stakeholders to participate in this planning process and learn more about the Zone 3 Elevated Tank through the virtual Public Information Centre.A presentation and recorded video was available on Monday October 18, 2021.
