Rehabilitation of Nibinamik Lagoon Sewage Treatment Lagoon and Collection Systems

in progress

The project will repair and replace components of a sewage lagoon and purchase a septic truck in the Nibinamik First Nation in Ontario. The work will include re-excavating and repairing 30 manholes, replacing two pressure relief valves, repairing damaged sections of the lagoon and buying a septic truck. The project will improve community health and safety by: limiting sewage seepage into the nearby Moe and Palenek Lakes, which provide local drinking water; reducing wastewater system blockages, shut-downs and damage; allowing for sewage to be hauled year round; and decreasing the potential for overflows and enabling these events to be addressed quickly.
