Sewage Treatment

Its going to cost a bit more than expected to install and ultra-violet treatment system at the city's sewage treatment plant.

Council has been asked for an additional 100 thousand dollars for the project.

Councillor Dave McCann says new regulations require the city to eliminate the discharge of chlorine into the Winnipeg River from the treatment plant.

He says the plant was never designed to house a U.V. treatment plant, so they need the extra money to cover the cost of additions and changes to the scope of the project.

The city is spending about 1.4 million dollars on the upgrades.
