The City of Richmond Hill invites you to attend this Public Open House.
The City is developing new Master Plans for water and wastewater systems to help ensure residents and businesses can continue to have clean, safe drinking water and dependable wastewater services as Richmond Hill continues to grow.
These plans will help identify where improvements are needed to water pipes, sewers and infrastructure so the City can continue delivering these essential services.
Residents are invited to attend the Public Open House to learn about the City's proposed plans and share feedback.
City staff and project team members will be available to answer questions and discuss how the plans will help support Richmond Hill's future.
