Join YCLM for a site tour of the North End Water Pollution Control Centre (NEWPCC) on September 29.
The NEWPCC Headworks Upgrades includes the construction of three new tunnels to redirect sewage to a new 22m deep fully redundant sewage pump station. The sewage will be then pass through a set of four self-cleaning screens to remove large solids, and then pass through a set of 10 grit removal cells. The resulting effluent will then be returned to the existing treatment plant for final treatment. The project includes the construction of a back up generator building, a new control room, a solids handling facility, a new transformer yard and odor control.
