Town of Birch Hills - Lagoon Expansion Project

pre-construction

The Town of Birch Hills - Lagoon Expansion Project will construct a new primary lagoon cell while converting the existing cell to a expand the current secondary storage cell. With the water treatment plant upgrades and planning for residential and commercial/industrial development, the lagoon system will not be able to meet the Water Security Agency (WSA) and provincial/federal regulations due to capacity. The new lagoon cell will result in both primary and secondary cells having adequate treatment capacity under the new regulations and projected wastewater flow rates. The new cell will be constructed to current regulations. The outcome will be increased treatment and storage capacity to meet 20-year projected wastewater rates with a new reverse osmosis treatment system, update the lagoon treatment capacity to suit current WSA regulations, matching the design capacity of the primary and secondary cells.
