LACOMBE- The North Red Deer Regional Wastewater System received the Project Achievement Award at the 2019 Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA) Summit Awards, held in Calgary on April 25.

The award recognizes an outstanding engineering or geoscience project that represents a substantial contribution to technological progress and the betterment of society.

Designed by Stantec, the North Red Deer Regional Wastewater System promises a cleaner future for communities in central Alberta.

Completed on time and under budget, the system incorporates innovative approaches and leading-edge technologies to provide a modern wastewater solution while protecting a sensitive watershed.

The wastewater transmission system connects the communities of Lacombe, Blackfalds and Lacombe County to the wastewater treatment facility in Red Deer with a 28-kilometre pipeline. The system also includes two major lift stations, emergency storage reservoirs and odour management measures.

“The City of Lacombe, along with our partner municipalities, are thrilled to be recognized again for this forward-thinking infrastructure project. The transmission system not only provides for much-needed long-term sustainability in addressing the critical wastewater needs in our region, but also supports continued growth for Lacombe, Blackfalds, and Lacombe County.” states City of Lacombe Mayor Grant Creasey.
