Fort Creek Aqueduct
Along Wellington Street West Through Steelton
The Study
The City of Sault Ste Marie has initiated a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for the upgrading or replacement of the Fort Creek Aqueduct along Wellington Street West through the Steelton area. The creek was channelized into a large concrete box culvert around 1912-1913 and is located under the south sidewalk on Wellington Street West. The existing aqueduct has structural deficiencies and portions may be undersized to carry major rainfall events.
The Process
The project is being planned under
Schedule B of the
Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process and a key component of the study is consultation with the interested stakeholders (public and review agencies).
How to Get Involved
Public consultation is invited. The City of Sault Ste Marie wants to ensure that anyone interested in this study has the opportunity to get involved and provide input before any decisions are made on design and implementation. To get involved in the study you can contact us at any time to express your interest and/or be added to the study contact list or interested persons can attend the PIC. All property owners on the existing route of the aqueduct have been placed on the contact list already.
