Stage 1 Update

On July 28, 2026, the project team presented Council with an update on Stage 1 of the City Water Master Plan, highlighting the completion of the Background Review and Data Assessment stage. This work included reviewing the existing water 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 assess the City’s future water supply, storage and distribution needs, evaluate system performance under future growth scenarios, identify infrastructure requirements and prioritize upgrades needed to support Abbotsford’s growth over the next 25 years. Stage 2 will also review design criteria in the Development Bylaw and identify opportunities for improvement, based on industry best practices.
