The upgrade project will meet the needs of the municipality’s fast-growing economy and population by replacing aging core infrastructure, improving energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, as well as meeting higher wastewater effluent quality standards and improving the quality of the water flowing into Wascana Creek and the Qu’Appelle River and lake system.
