The City of Sault Ste. Marie is about to get a major upgrade in their wastewater treatment. Approximately 25,000 people fall into the area treated by the West End Wastewater Treatment located at 55 Allen’s Side Road. Originally commissioned in 1985, it is one of two wastewater treatment plants servicing the City’s current population of 73,000. Currently rated for a treatment capacity of 20 million litres of wastewater per day, no major upgrades have been completed to the plant since the original construction—until now. The $38 million project consists of a major overhaul to both the preliminary treatment and solids treatment processes, says Catherine Taddo, Manager, Development and Environmental Engineering for Public Works and Engineering Services. 3
