Edson town council is taking steps to garner provincial support in upgrading the community’s Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The move, according to Town officials, is an attempt to keep providing quality water and wastewater services for the community. As a result, council has directed administration to apply to the Alberta Municipal Water/Wastewater Partnership.
The application will be for a total project cost of $3,150,000, for the completion of upgrades to the Town’s Wastewater Treatment Plant to comply with regulatory requirements.
Officials note, as requirements necessitating these upgrades were implemented after construction started on the provincially mandated facility, council requested that a letter be provided to the Environment Minister outlining the Town’s concerns with the additional costs regarding the Wastewater Treatment Plant, and urging provincial support to help fund the project.
Furthermore, Edson town council has approved to allow the MD of Greenview into the West Yellowhead Regional Waste Management Authority.
