Canada Commissions Water Treatment Plant

The commissioning of the Pine Creek Waste Water treatment plant in Calgary, Canada, took place on 25 May having originally been scheduled for 2007.

The plant’s masterplan was prepared in 2000 and outlined the expansion of wastewater facilities in the city.

The plant started with an investment C$240m but the final cost has doubled, according to 660news.com.

The plant was proposed when the city’s Fish Creek and Bonnybrook plants were reaching capacity.

Pine Creek’s initial capacity of 100 million litres a day will serve approximately 250,000 people and treat wastewater generated in the city’s south-west and south-east.
