Addressing Drinking Water Infrastructure Issues in the Town of Torbay

EF 2025-26 · 2025-12-05

Résumé
The Addressing Drinking Water Infrastructure Issues Project in the Town of Torbay, Newfoundland and Labrador aims to develop Great Pond as a municipal water supply. The project addresses critical housing and infrastructure needs by ensuring access to safe drinking water for current and future residents and businesses. This will bring significant benefit not only to the residents of the Pineridge area affected by South Pond contamination but also to the existing residents of the Town of Torbay. The project consists of water supply, treatment, and distribution systems including water control structure, intake pipe, water treatment plant, water storage tank and associated access roads. Additionally, a fishway will be incorporated to mitigate potential effects on fish passage due to water withdrawal. The project will enable the construction of 76 new housing units, including affordable and high-density options, to attract diverse individuals and families. The outcome will alleviate pressure on existing infrastructure, support sustainable development, and benefit neighbouring municipalities dependent on the regional water supply.

Description (French)
Le projet Résolution des problèmes liés à l'infrastructure d'eau potable dans la Ville de Torbay, vise à faire de Great Pond une source d'approvisionnement en eau municipale. Ce projet répond à des besoins essentiels en matière de logement et d'infrastructure en garantissant l'accès à l'eau potable pour les habitants et les entreprises actuels et futurs. Les habitants de la région de Pineridge, touchés par la contamination de South Pond, mais aussi les habitants actuels de la ville de Torbay en tireront des avantages considérables. Le projet consiste en un système d'approvisionnement, de traitement et de distribution de l'eau comprenant une structure de contrôle de l'eau, une conduite de prise d'eau, une station de traitement de l'eau, un réservoir de stockage de l'eau et les routes d'accès correspondantes. De plus, une passe migratoire pour les poissons sera incorporée afin d'atténuer les effets potentiels du prélèvement d'eau sur le passage des poissons. Le projet permettra la construction de 76 nouvelles unités de logement, y compris des options abordables et à haute densité, afin d'attirer des personnes et des familles diverses. Il permettra d'alléger la pression sur les infrastructures existantes, de soutenir le développement durable et de bénéficier aux municipalités voisines qui dépendent de l'approvisionnement régional en eau.
Expected Results
Through the CHIF, Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada (HICC) will collaborate with all levels of government, Indigenous partners, as well as other stakeholders to deliver public drinking water, wastewater, stormwater and solid waste infrastructure that will enable new housing supply.
