Overview The Region of Peel has identified the need to provide a new municipal well to service the Village
of Inglewood within the Town of Caledon and allow for the abandonment of Well #2.
Project Objective Investigate alternative solutions and methods to provide a new municipal well for the Village of
Inglewood to replace an existing municipal well (Well #2). Through this project, the Region has
the opportunity to improve system reliability and security of supply for the Village of Inglewood.
Source Water Protection at Inglewood Well No. 2 Potential threats to drinking water identified for the Inglewood Well No. 2 source protection area
refer to the following:
Residential septic systems
Municipal land uses: o Storm water management pond o Wastewater (sewer) system o Wastewater (sewage) treatment plant
Agricultural land uses related to the presence of a farm, and
Fuel storage

Groundwater Exploration Program: Focus of the groundwater exploration program was to examine the buried bedrock valley aquifer complex in the vicinity of the Village of Inglewood and to establish two (2) high yielding deep test wells. A total of nine (9) potentially viable test well sites were identified and prioritized for drilling. A total of five (5) test holes were drilled until two (2) viable test holes were located:
Three (3) test holes (Sites B, C & H) failed to identify sufficient coarse grained overburden deposits to warrant the construction of test wells.
Two (2) test holes (Sites K & N) were successful in encountering sufficient coarse grained overburden (deep aquifer) deposits that warranted the construction of test
Site N (Alternative D1): Test Well N-2014 (TWN-14):

Recommendations Proceed with Option D1 “Construct New Well Supply as the preferred alternative involving:
A new production well (IW4) with a rated capacity of 900 L/min. 400m north of existing
Inglewood Well #3, west of Highway 10
Groundwater from Well #4 will be pumped directly to the Inglewood Well #3 facility for
treatment
Modifications to the existing Inglewood Well #3 treatment facility will be required (i.e.,
additional filter), which may require an increase in the existing building footprint (i.e.,
addition) within the existing property limits
A watermain will be constructed adjacent (parallel) with Highway 10 (Final alignment
CVC/MTO to be confirmed during detailed design)
Next Steps 1. PIC Comments to be Received by March 17, 2016
2. Confirm the Preferred Alternative
3. Prepare Class EA Project File (Spring 2016)
4. Issue Notice of Completion and 30-Day Review Period (Spring 2016)
5. Proceed to Design and Construction of Preferred Alternative, If no objections are
expressed (Spring/Summer 2016)

Problem and Opportunity Statements
Problem Statement
The Region of Peel has identified the need to provide a new municipal well
to service the Village of Inglewood within the Town of Caledon and allow for
the abandonment of Well #2.
Project Objective
Investigate alternative solutions and methods to provide a new municipal well
for the Village of Inglewood to replace an existing municipal well (Well #2).
Through this project, the Region has the opportunity to improve system
reliability and security of supply for the Village of Inglewood.
Class EA Process Overview & Study Area

Project
Background Information
The Village of Inglewood is serviced by two existing municipal groundwater
production wells (Inglewood Well #2, Inglewood Well #3) each rated at 1,295
m3/day.
Well #2 was constructed in 1978 and is a shallow well (9.4m Deep) that is
considered to be groundwater under the direct influence of surface water (GUDI).
It is located adjacent to the Credit River.
Well #3 was constructed in 1995 and is a deep well (54.7m deep) that is
considered to be groundwater (Non-GUDI). It is located on Highway 10 adjacent
to Ken Whillans Resource Management Area.
Due to a variety of concerns/issues associated with the potential long-term
viability of Well #2 including Source Water Protection requirements, Well #2
has been identified for replacement/abandonment.

Alternative Description
Alternative A - “Do Nothing” Continue with existing operations (“Baseline” alternative with Well #2 in service).
Alternative B - “System Capacity Reduction”

Preferred Alternative (Preliminary)
New Groundwater Production Well (Well #4) at Site N
Located approximately 400m north of existing Inglewood Well #3, west of
Highway 10
Provides a minimum of 1,295 m3/d (900 L/min) of sustainable water
supply capacity
Groundwater from Well #4 will be pumped directly to the Inglewood Well
#3 facility for treatment
Modifications to the existing Inglewood Well #3 treatment facility will be
required (i.e., additional filter), which may require an increase in the existing
building footprint (i.e., addition) within the existing property limits
A watermain will be constructed adjacent (parallel) with Highway 10
(Final alignment CVC/MTO to be confirmed during detailed design)
Testing indicates that both existing Well #3 and proposed Well #4 can be
operated simultaneously
