Wastewater

What is the difference between the Regional Wastewater System and the Local Wastewater Collection System?

The Regional System is comprised of the Mulhurst lagoon and the main transmission lines with pumping stations around the lake which pump the sewage to the lagoon.  A Local Sewer Collection System is internal to each Summer Village. Each Summer Village will have its own pumps and piping.  This local system will receive sewage from each property and pump it to the regional main lines.  Each property using their own pump in their holding tank will pump into the local sewage lines.

The Pigeon Lake Regional Wastewater Planning Committee is composed of representatives from the Summer Villages of Crystal Springs, Grandview, Ma-Me-O Beach, Norris Beach, Poplar Bay and Sundance Beach. Also, a rep. from the Provincial Park sits on the Committee. The Committee also includes reps from the Counties of Leduc and Wetaskiwin. Wetaskiwin County continues to be the lead municipality and is working directly with Associated Engineering on behalf of the Committee.

The Committee met in October to receive draft information from Associated Engineering regarding the status of the pre-design of our regional system. Data review and collection is complete and the project design criteria was confirmed. A base plan with legal parcels, ground topography and aerial photos has been compiled for the entire project area. The preliminary design for the pipeline and necessary treatment upgrades are being detailed. A draft report will be available to the Committee in mid-November with the Committee reviewing the same and submitting it to Alberta Transportation for funding of the project. We are hopeful of funding and all updates will be provided on our website or by calling the Office.

In addition, the Committee is moving forward on the formation of a commission representing our Committee. The commission will eventually be a new entity that will contract sewer treatment services from the N.E.P.L. (North East Pigeon Lake) Commission. The treatment facility will be the Mulhurst Lagoon.
