Substantial refurbishment of the ATAD #2 and #3 have now been completed, significantly increasing the operational lifespan of both tanks. 

This project involves the expansion of the existing raw water siltation/storage ponds to provide additional volume to meet the recommended capacity in 2042 based on estimated demand growth in the region.  

The project will also provide surge capacity to allow Aquatera to meet water demand.  The preliminary design is in progress.  

Aquatera has proceeded with an environmental compliance project at its Bioreactor Landfill site. The work has been completed to facilitate containment and disposal of surface run-off at the Bioreactor Landfill site.

This project involves the disinfection of wastewater treatment plant effluent that is being returned to the Wapiti River. Disinfection of our effluent will be a condition of our operating license; the license approval is provided by Alberta Environment and Protected Areas. 

The preliminary design is expected to be completed by the spring of 2025. Alberta Environment has granted an extension for the construction of the UV facility, with completion set for the end of 2028. 

This project will provide additional potable water storage capacity which will enhance treatment plant operations and allow for extended maintenance periods at the treatment plant. The project will also allow the deferral of the treatment plant capacity upgrade project by several years. 

The reservoir excavation is completed with the concrete pours underway.

Aquatera has been approved for grant funding and the project is expected to be completed in 2026.
