Some might find the subject a bit dry, but we’re excited to be embarking on a multi-year project to upgrade the community’s water system.
In order to meet modern regulatory requirements - and in doing so prevent future water quality advisories - we will be upgrading our water system in a number of ways;
- Water conditioning.
- Direct sand filtration.
- UV disinfection.
The pilot plant commissioned in 2022 proved the design concept and provided valuable data on how our water responds with treatment products. Public Works continues to operate the pilot plant to gain experience needed for operators to obtain higher certification.
The detailed design for this plant was recently completed. Construction of the new treatment system will commence this year.
