(firmenpresse) - NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 07/10/15 -- Today, representatives from the Government of Canada, the Province of Ontario and the Niagara Region celebrated the start of construction of the Niagara-on-the-Lake Wastewater Treatment Plant. The new plant, which will replace the existing facility, will produce less noise and odours, help protect the environment, and ensure sufficient treatment capacity to serve several communities within the municipality of Niagara-on-the-Lake for the next two decades.
Located approximately 800 metres west of the existing plant, the new plant will treat both dry weather and wet weather flows, include an anaerobic digester, and help protect the environment by supporting Canada''s international and regional commitments to protect the Great Lakes Basin by improving the quality of effluent discharged into Lake Ontario. The plant will satisfy federal Wastewater Systems Effluent Regulations and the Ontario Ministry of Environment''s standards for treating wastewater, and will be operational in 2017.
