OUR PROJECTS

STONEBROOK ESTATES WATER & WASTEWATER SYSTEMS

The City of Hamilton, through its amalgamation, has assumed a default agreement that was originally entered into with a developer and the former Regional Municipality of Hamilton-Wentworth. The development, which is known as Stonebrook Estates, is located within the City of Hamilton municipal boundaries and utilizes a non-municipal residential communal water and wastewater system.  The developer made an application to the City for provision of two additional developments in this community.  The City had retained DLW Engineering Services Limited to review the existing water and wastewater system and its compliance with MOE design guidelines for the current development and to further assess the additional requirements to facilitate the new developments.  Subsequently, Streetwise Capital Partners Inc. retained DLW to design and administer the contract for the water and wastewater upgrades for the second development phase.

​

The communal water system includes a well-based water supply system complete with GUDI wells, well houses, treatment system comprising of pressure filters, ultraviolet disinfection followed by chlorination, as well as potable water and fire water reservoirs and separate potable water and firewater distribution networks.  The communal wastewater system includes a pressurized sewer system leading to an advanced secondary treatment plant with nitrification followed by subsurface discharge through a tile field.
