The purpose of the City Wastewater Master Plan is to identify the infrastructure upgrades needed to meet the expected demands for a population of 250,000 over the next 25 years. The Plan will also identify the impacts of future commercial, industrial and institutional growth, and develop short-, medium- and long-term capital plans, including projects costs, timing and upgrade priorities.
What’s Happening Next:
Throughout 2026 and 2027, the City will be gathering feedback to inform updates to its existing Master Plans. This work will ensure that long-term planning aligns with the priorities outlined in the updated OCP, Council’s Strategic Plan and community input, creating a cohesive and consistent roadmap for Abbotsford toward 2050.
Engagement Opportunities - We want to hear from you!
Thank you to everyone who visited one of our pop-up events in May 2026 to learn more about the City Wastewater Master Plan and for sharing feedback on the key issues and opportunities that will help shape the future direction of the plan.
Additional engagement opportunities will be available in early 2027.
Plan for 2050 is about planning ahead, working together, and creating a city that continues to be a great place to live, work, and grow, now and for generations to come.

On July 28, 2026, the project team presented Council with an update on Stage 1 of the City Wastewater Master Plan, highlighting the completion of the Background Review and Data Assessment stage. This work included reviewing the existing wastewater system, identifying key issues and opportunities and establishing the guiding principles and assumptions that will inform the next phases of the Master Plan.
Council directed staff to proceed to Stage 2 – Analysis and Evaluation, where the project team will update and calibrate the wastewater model, assess how the system will perform under future population growth and development scenarios, identify capacity constraints, and prioritize infrastructure upgrades needed to support Abbotsford’s growth over the next 25 years. Stage 2 will also review certain design criteria in the Development Bylaw and identify opportunities for improvement, based on industry best practices.
