Public Meeting about the Rez (Highland Gardens)

Public Meeting (PIC) re Highland Gardens Park (the Rez) Water Booster Pumping Station

Date: Tuesday, December 15, 2009

Time: 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.

Location: St. Joseph’s Church – Parish Hall, Herkimer at Locke

The City of Hamilton completed a Schedule B Class Environmental Assessment (EA) in 2005, identifying the need for a new water booster pumping station in Highland Gardens Park. The new pumping station is required to improve the reliability of the system in pressure District H3, which supplies water to the area bounded by Chedoke Golf Course to the west; Aberdeen Avenue, Herkimer Street and Charlton Avenue to the north; Ferguson Avenue to the east and the Niagara Escarpment to the south. The new station will provide required support to the Ferguson Avenue Pumping Station.

 

The new Highland Gardens Park Water Booster Pumping Station project is currently in the design phase. The Project Team will be holding a Public Information Centre (PIC) to provide further details on the project. The PIC will consist of an informal drop-in centre with displays showing an overview of the project, construction limits, schedule of construction activities, and architectural renderings of the new water pumping station. 

Attendees will have the opportunity to discuss their comments with the Project Team members.
