Work continues to upgrade the 1947 Ingersoll Water and Waste Water Treatment Plant to accommodate the demand.
INGERSOLL - Phase 2 of the reconstruction at the Ingersoll Water and Waste Water Treatment Plant is well underway.
Work should be done on the project in the fall. When it is all said and done the new treatment plant will end up costing about $18-19 million dollars. Director of Public Works Robert Walton explains why this work needed to be done.
"The concrete inside was just deteriorating and it really was at the end of its life span and it really needed to be replaced. As with any other type of infrastructure like that, the time came when it wasn't possible to fix it up anymore."
Phase two involves decommissioning the 1974 plant and upgrading it to be able to handle more waste.
"Decommissioning of the 1947 plant and then upgrading the 1974 plant to fully accommodate the flows that exist at this time, that involves taking the plant from 10,000 cubic metres a day to almost 13,000 cubic metres a day."
