Development projects
Since 2015, the municipality has been developing through three large-scale projects in the Centre-Village. These three projects are served by the three drainage utilities (aqueduct, sanitary and storm water) and connect to Chemin Old Chelsea’s mains.
In the same direction as the rest of the Centre-Village network, these three system extensions are processed at the wastewater treatment plant and the Chemin Hudson water purification plant.
These three projects are equipped with integrated infrastructures, that is, pumping stations and holding tanks.
Farm Point Sanitation

Moratorium on new construction
Given its growth and the need to preserve its water resources, the Municipality of Chelsea has adopted a draft by-law imposing a temporary moratorium on new construction in the Centre-Village. This measure, in effect from July 2, 2024, for two years, will help to modernize infrastructures and ensure long-term sustainable development.
Information sessions were held for merchants, developers and the general public to hear their comments. Minor modifications may be made before the by-law is adopted. If you have any suggestions, please write to the General Direction at directiongenerale@chelsea.ca before Friday, October 25.
