Notice of Public Meeting No. 2 Evaluation of Municipal Water Supply Class Environmental Assessment Township of Georgian Bluffs The Township of Georgian Bluffs is evaluating alternatives to improve and expand the municipal water supply within a select area of the Township. This select area, known as the Study Area, includes Grey Road 1 from Indian River to the Owen Sound City Limits, Brooke, and the Pottawatomi Village Subdivision. The Study Area does not include the Sunset Strip or Springmount area. A map showing the Study Area (Figure 1) is available on the Township website. Alternative solutions that are being evaluated include: Alternative 1 – Expand the East Linton water distribution system south of the Indian River to supply the Study Area. Alternative 2 – Develop a new lake intake and surface water treatment plant at Sarawak Family Park to supply the Study Area. Alternative 3 – Renew negotiations with the City of Owen Sound to expand the municipal water supply for the Study Area from the City of Owen Sound. Alternative 4 – Do nothing. The first Public Meeting for this Class EA was held in September, 2017. Since then, comments from the first public meeting have been reviewed and further evaluation of the alternatives has been completed. The second Public Meeting for the project will be held on Thursday, May 3, 2018 and will run from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Both public meeting sessions will be held at the Shallow Lake Arena.
