New wastewater infrastructure will provide essential sewage treatment in Prince Rupert after a joint investment of more than $5.4 million from the federal, provincial, and municipal governments.
Funding will go towards the construction of the new wastewater treatment facility in the Moresby Avenue area to treat sewage from several collection systems in the city. Project work includes reconfiguring existing lift stations, piping and control work, two treatment trains consisting of multiple wetlands, and associated electrical, mechanical, and civil works.
This new facility will use modern treatment technology combined with engineered wetlands to provide secondary treatment that meets federal and provincial regulations. Investing in local wastewater systems is key to improving people's quality of life, protecting waterways, and positioning communities for growth.
