 Bath water treatment plant upgrades

Construction for the Bath Water Treatment Plant Upgrade project is scheduled to begin in June 2020. The project will involve replacing the existing media filters with a Membrane Gravity Filter system which will incorporate full redundancy into the plant’s treatment process.

A mobile water treatment unit will provide treated drinking water for the village of Bath and the Bath and Millhaven institutions while work is conducted on the existing filters. Construction is expected to last six months, with a projected completion date of December 2020, and no service disruptions are expected during this period.

Residents who have questions regarding this project can contact Rami Maassarani, Project Coordinator for Loyalist Township, at 613-386-7351, ext. 102.

Repairs to Amherst Island flood-damaged roads

Update August 13 - Project design work is progressing. Affected residents are encouraged to make any comments on the design drawings. Staff are working with the provide to finalize the funding plan for the project. There will be a virtual Public Information Centre held once the project details have been finalized.

For further information visit the Amherst Island damage repair project page. 

 Edgewood Road Municipal Drain

After installing new watermains on Edgewood Road and Compton Court in 2019, the Township in partnership with MTO is installing new storm sewers on Edgewood Road in 2020. 

The storm sewer begins on the north side of Highway 33 (Bath Road), crosses to the south side, then follows the length of Edgewood Road and crosses Township lands to discharge into Lake Ontario. Ditch inlets convey the water from the ditches beside Edgewood Road into the storm sewer, as it approaches the outlet at Lake Ontario. The storm sewer is designed with capacity to convey flows resulting from a 100-year design storm.

The project has been awarded to R.W. Tomlinson Ltd. The construction began July 27, 2020 and is expected to be completed by the end of October 2020.

Residents who have questions or concerns can contact Curtis Ottenhof, Project Manager for R.W. Tomlinson, at 613-453-8783; or Joe Gratton, Project Supervisor for Loyalist Township, at 613-386-7351, ext. 172.

 Briscoe Park Rehabilitation

Briscoe Park is located at the end of Sir John Johnson Drive, in the Village of Bath. Public consultation was completed in 2018 and the final design includes improved accessibility, safety upgrades, new playground equipment, new trees, and drainage improvements. Upgrades to the park was one of the Recreation projects planned for construction in 2019. Funding for this project is in the approved 2019 capital budget and includes contributions fundraised by the Bath & District Lions Club. Due to timing and weather constraints, the construction phase of the project was pushed back to 2020. After a competitive procurement process, O. Bettschen Construction Ltd. was chosen as the contractor to complete this work. As of mid-August 2020, the project is complete. 

 Bath Main Street Construction

Coco Paving Inc has been contracted, by Loyalist Township, to rehabilitate and resurface Main Street from east of Fairfield Street to just east of the boat launch at Finkle’s Shore Park. The rehabilitation work includes localized drainage improvements and road base repairs, removal of existing asphalt and re-paving. To facilitate this work, temporary lane closures will be required and some traffic delays can be expected.  Although not anticipated, if construction work will impacted access to driveways, the contractor will provide advance notification. The work started in early September 2020 and is scheduled be completed by end of October 2020. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience as we work to complete these improvements to Township infrastructure.

Earlier this year, Loyalist Township successfully applied to the Ministry of Transportation's Connecting Links Program, which provides dedicated provincial funding for road and bridge projects on designated connecting link highways. The approved grant for 2019 was for design work to replace the asphalt on Main Street in Bath, from Centennial Park to the western village limit, as well as rehabilitation of the Bath Creek box culvert at Centennial Park.

Loyalist Township has received funding for the construction phase of this project through the Ministry of Transportation 2020-21 Connecting Links Program. Should you have any questions or require further information please contact Andrew Bracken, Project Manager at 613-328-8753 or Bob Facey, Site Supervisor at 613-849-3449.

    • the planting of new trees;
    • some additional landscaping along the walkways and existing playground;
    • the relocation of the existing parking area near the playground to address safety concerns;
    • a new gravel multi-use pathway between the east end of Battery Street and the Babcock Mill parking lot;
    • accessible access to the park and Millhaven Creek area;
    • new gravel walkways to line up with the new subdivision walkways on the west side of Bridge;
    • the addition of some new benches within the park including a Lions Club memorial bench;

This project is a partnership between the Odessa Lions Club and Loyalist Township.  The first phase of the project involved the construction of the Natural Playground at Babcock Mill Park.  The Township appreciates the support from the Odessa Lions Club.

Elwood Dopking Park

Several upgrades to Elwood Dopking Park are scheduled to be completed by the end of November, 2020.  Upgrades include:

  • Improved drainage and stormwater infrastructure;

  • An access road for Township use connecting South Street to Battery Street;

  • new walking paths, lighting and fencing;

  • A new children's play structure*;

*The installation of the play structure has been delayed due to COVID-19.
