The Province of Nova Scotia announced their intention to invest in Wastewater Infrastructure upgrades for Wolfville.
This will improve the wastewater treatment plant and increase treatment capacity leading to higher quality wastewater and sewage disposal systems.
The upgrades will include a newly constructed third lagoon cell and protective raised barrier, and improved aeration system and a new operational monitoring and control system.
“Modern and efficient water infrastructure is key to building healthy and resilient communities.” said Melissa Sheehy-Richard, MLA for Hants West. “This investment will keep the Town of Wolfville safe, healthy, and environmentally sustainable for many years to come.”
Wolfville’s mayor Wendy Donovan says the expansion and upgrades to the wastewater system is a critical part of the towns growth.
The Province of Nova Scotia is investing $ 2 million dollars into this $ 6 million dollar project. The town of Wolfville is committing $1.6 million, and the Federal Government is contributing $2.4 million.
