Enhanced infrastructure will improve sewer collection and wastewater treatment in Lytton after a joint investment of just over $7.5 million from the federal, provincial, and municipal governments.
Funding will go towards upgrading the Lytton Wastewater Treatment Plant by replacing failing and damaged infrastructure which resulted from the 2021 fire. The improved plant will have a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) monitoring and management system, which will help with monitoring and controlling processes, along with a back-up power supply and treatment upgrades to improve wastewater quality before it gets discharged to the Fraser River.
While the wastewater treatment plant survived the 2021 fire, these upgrades will play a key role in supporting Lytton's recovery and future capacity needs with rebuilding.
