Oct 17, 2019 | 6:12 AM

LACOMBE- The North Red Deer Regional Wastewater System has won the American Public Works Association (APWA) Alberta Chapter’s Project of the Year Award, for Projects over $10 Million.

The award was presented at the (APWA) Excellence in Public Works Conference and Tradeshow, in Red Deer from October 7- 9.

The APWA Public Works Project of the Year Award was established to promote excellence in the management and administration of public works projects by recognizing the alliance between the managing agency, the consultant/architect/ engineer, and the contractor who, working together, complete public works projects.

“I was pleased to accept this award on behalf of the North Red Deer Regional Wastewater Services Commission. Completed on time and on budget, the wastewater transmission system is a great, forward-thinking project that ensures our members have access to safe, reliable and effective waste water treatment services for the foreseeable future.”- Ken Wigmore, NRDRWWSC Chair

Designed by Stantec, the North Red Deer Regional Wastewater System incorporates innovative approaches and leading-edge technologies to provide a modern wastewater solution for 25,000 residents living in central Alberta, and protect the sensitive watershed that supplies drinking water for 150,000 Albertans.

Commissioned in April 2018, the transmission system pumps wastewater to the state-of-the-art regional treatment plant in Red Deer.

The project consists of a 28 kilometre pipeline, one odor management facility and two major lift stations.

The City of Red Deer Wastewater Treatment Plant also received extensive upgrades in order to accept wastewater from the North Red Deer Regional Wastewater System.

The upgrades significantly increased the capacity of the plant, as it now services a population of over 150,000 people.
