MUNICIPAL. The City of Drummondville will install ammoniacal nitrogen treatment equipment at the wastewater treatment plant.
“This project involves installing a new treatment stage at the wastewater treatment plant. It involves installing equipment that promotes the creation of micro-organisms that digest ammoniacal nitrogen at our treatment site before this contaminant ends up in the Saint-François River,” says the City’s public relations advisor, Anne-Élisabeth Benjamin.
In this way, the City of Drummondville will respect the standards imposed by the Ministry of the Environment.
The project will be completed at a cost of $2,620,280.25. The contract was awarded to Allen Entrepreneur général, during the last municipal council meeting.
According to the municipal organization’s forecasts, the work should be completed by fall 2024.
Last May, elected officials submitted financial assistance to the Green Municipal Fund to cover the costs of the project. “The process is still underway for this source of funding,” emphasizes the City’s Deputy Director General, Maxime Hébert Tardif.
The water plant construction site is progressing smoothly, assures Drummondville Mayor Stéphanie Lacoste. According to the latest news, the deadlines and budget are being respected.
The commissioning of the new factory is still planned for 2025.
