A Pre-Construction Public Information Session for the High Street (Victoria Street to Grosvenor Street) Reconstruction Project is scheduled for April 10 at the Southampton Town Hall from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm.

Due to weather delays, the sanitary sewer lining work (noted in the March 28th notice) will now begin on April 9th and is expected to finish by April 17th.

As part of the planning process for the proposed expansion of the Town of Saugeen Shores’ existing landfill site, a Terms of Reference (ToR) was submitted to the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) for review as required under the Environmental Assessment Act (EAA). If approved, the ToR will serve as a framework for the preparation and review of the Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed undertaking.

As part of the Ministry of Transportation’s (MTO) Connecting Link Program, funding has been allocated for various rehabilitation works along Goderich Street (South-end of Port Elgin Concession 6 to Concession 10 (North-end of Port Elgin). The project will involve the resurfacing of the asphalt on Goderich Street, as well as the restoration of the historic brick intersections in the downtown Port Elgin. Additionally, there will be minor underground infrastructure upgrades.

Saugeen Shores is completing a study to enable the Town to determine and plan for proposed levels of service.  Levels of Service refers to how the Town maintains, repairs, and replaces its core and non-core assets. The current levels of service for these assets were determined in the 2024 Asset Management Plan. The next step is to determine if these levels of service meet the expectations and needs of the community.

The Town of Saugeen Shores invites you to engage with us as we evaluate ways to expand the Port Elgin Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) located at 123 Lehnen Street, Saugeen Shores, ON. The Port Elgin WPCP services the community of Port Elgin which is the largest urban community in Saugeen Shores. The Town of Saugeen Shores’s 2020 Masterplan studies have identified the need for a Schedule “C” Class EA to review alternatives for the Port Elgin WPCP to meet the future 2053 capacity needs for treatment of sanitary sewage generated in the community of Port Elgin.   

The Town of Saugeen Shores is updating the Water and Wastewater Servicing Master Plan for the communities of Port Elgin and Southampton. The Master Plan was last updated in 2020 and since that time, the Town has experienced significant residential and non-residential growth. The water system also services our neighbours in the Saugeen Ojibway First Nation (SON). The update to the Master Plan will involve a review of existing water treatment, distribution, storage infrastructure, sanitary and sewage collection and treatment infrastructure. The study will also include a review of future growth forecasts and potential future water and wastewater servicing requirements to 2044 as they relate to key infrastructure. Upon completion, the Master Plan will serve as a strategic document for the continued provision of water and wastewater services that will integrate with other major planning, development, and financing plans and policies. The Master Plan will also identify recommended projects and outline estimated timelines or triggers for implementation.
