The Proposed Project

The Town of Shelburne is proposing to develop a new water supply production well. The proposed well site is located approximately three kilometres west of the Town of Shelburne on 2nd Line Southwest. The proposal consists of conveying groundwater from the proposed well site via a water main constructed for the project along existing rights-of-way to a connection with the existing water supply system infrastructure. The proposed water main route is approximately four kilometres in length, and follows 2nd Line Southwest to Provincial Highway 89, then proceeds eastward along Highway 89 before connecting with the Town of Shelburne's existing water supply system.
