Cromwell area Sewer Separation and Flood Mitigation Project
FY 2024-25 · 2024-09-25
Summary
The City of Sarnia has a significant need to upgrade its sanitary and stormwater sewer system. An increase in the frequency and intensity of storms has resulted in basement flooding and sewer overflows, threatening properties and the environment, including the St. Clair River. The proposed project would replace combined sewers with separate dedicated storm and sanitary sewers and upgrade the conveyance and retention capacity of the wastewater collection system. This would reduce the risk of future surface and basement flooding and sewer backups as well as improve the quality of waterflows into the environment. The objectives of ‘Cromwell area Sewer Separation and Flood Mitigation Project’ are: 1. Mitigate the surface and basement flooding in the project area of the City during extreme rain storm events. Thereby, improving Resilience of our wastewater collection system to extreme storm events in the project area. 2. Mitigate the of Combined Sewer Over flows into the St. Clair, River thereby improving the water quality in the St. Clair River and protecting downstream users /communities. 3. Enhancing hydraulic conveyance and retention capacity of the City's wastewater collection system, thereby mitigating the impact of extreme storm events. 4. Reduction in pumping and treating combined wastewater (storm and sanitary) flows.

Description (French)
La ville de Sarnia a un besoin important d'améliorer son réseau d'égouts sanitaires et pluviaux. L'augmentation de la fréquence et de l'intensité des tempêtes a entraîné des inondations de sous-sols et des débordements d'égouts, menaçant ainsi les propriétés et l'environnement, y compris la rivière Sainte-Claire. Le projet proposé remplacerait les égouts combinés par des égouts pluviaux et sanitaires distincts et améliorerait la capacité de transport et de rétention du système de collecte des eaux usées. Cela réduirait le risque d'inondations de surface et de sous-sol et de refoulements d'égouts, tout en améliorant la qualité des flux d'eau dans l'environnement. Les objectifs du projet de séparation des égouts et d'atténuation des inondations dans la zone de Cromwell sont les suivants : 1. Atténuer les inondations de surface et de sous-sol dans la zone du projet de la ville pendant les événements pluvieux extrêmes. Ainsi, améliorer la résilience de notre système de collecte des eaux usées lors d'événements pluvieux extrêmes dans la zone du projet. 2. Réduire les débordements d'égouts combinés dans la rivière Sainte-Claire, améliorant ainsi la qualité de l'eau dans la rivière Sainte-Claire et protégeant les utilisateurs/communautés en aval. 3. Améliorer le transport hydraulique et la capacité de rétention du système de collecte des eaux usées de la ville, atténuant ainsi l'impact des événements pluvieux extrêmes. 4. Réduction du pompage et du traitement des flux d'eaux usées combinées (pluviales et sanitaires).
