Stewart - Wastewater Treatment Facility Upgrades

in progress

The proposed project will complete improvements to the District of Stewart’s wastewater treatment system by constructing a new Rapid Infiltration Basin and replacing existing laterals and diffusers within the system. The new works will increase the capacity and efficiency of the system, reduce algae growth in the lagoons and potential overflow and spill into the Bear River. The project works include: - construction of a third Rapid Infiltration Basin; - site preparation; - installation of fencing; - removal of existing manhole, effluent piping aeration laterals, diffusers and distribution piping ; - installation of a manhole, control structure including valves and modification of existing control structure; - installation of approx. 2250m of pipe; - installation of submerged aeration laterals and diffusers; and, - related components and works.
