The City and AbitibiBowater reach agreement on Leachate treatment

The City of Kenora has reached a new agreement with AbitibiBowater to deal with the leachate from the old Mud Lake dump site just off Mellick Avenue.

Council held a special meeting last week to finalize the deal.

Kenora mayor Dave Canfield says there was some urgency to get the deal done.

Canfield says the new agreement includes a big increase in the price AbitibiBowater is paying for the treatment of the leachate.
