The proposed infrastructure includes a secondary wastewater treatment plant, solids handling facility, outfall upgrades, and collection system upgrades to convey wastewater to the selected site. This will service the District, Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation and other stakeholders, and will be designed for an initial 20-year horizon, with options for expansion. The project is separated into two phases, this application is for Phase A, pre-design and detailed design for shovel-ready construction.
