The <br />existing leachate forcemain conveys leachate from the Waterloo Landfill to the Waterloo <br />Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) via the City of Waterloo sanitary sewer system. <br />The leachate flow from the landfill has nearly reached the City of Waterloo maximum <br />allowable flow and will exceed this allowable flow rate in the near future. Therefore, a <br />second forcemain, that will direct some of the leachate from the Waterloo Landfill to the <br />Kitchener WWTP via the City of Kitchener sanitary sewer system, is required to service <br />the ongoing expansion of the landfill. The Region is seeking approval from the City of <br />Kitchener to run the forcemain within City road allowances and corridors. <br />REPORT: <br />The Waterloo Landfill is located at 925 Erb Street West, Waterloo, and straddles the <br />boundary between the City of Kitchener to the south and the City of Waterloo to the <br />north. <br />*** This information is available in accessible formats upon request. *** <br />Please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994 for assistance. <br /> <br />3 - 1 <br /> <br />
