The Town of Preeceville, SK’s Wastewater Treatment Facility Project has been completed and has been hooked up to the existing system, according to the Preeceville Progress. The project involved the construction of two new aerated lagoon cells, two nitrification cells, a new blower building to house the mechanical equipment and electronics, and replacement of the existing force main (approximately 2.5 km pipeline) from the sewage lift station to the wastewater treatment system. Although the construction is considered complete, the treatment system will not discharge into the Assiniboine River until the effluent meets the Saskatchewan guidelines for discharge requirements.
Testing is ongoing weekly and it is expected to meet the guidelines within a few weeks.
The town received funding for a portion of the Wastewater Treatment Facility Project through the New Building Canada Fund. Following award of the Wastewater Treatment Facility construction works, an evaluation of the budget revealed the town would not spend all of the New Building Canada Fund budget.
The upgrades project is planned to be complete by the spring of 2021.
