NA
BACKGROUND:
The first piece of equipment that receives incoming sewer flow at the WWTP is a mechanical trash bar screen. The purpose of the screen is to remove inorganic materials (plastics, debris, etc.) from the wastewater stream before it enters the treatment process and to divert these materials for disposal at a landfill. The trash bar failed and on January 20, 2026, Council approved a local emergency resolution to allow the repairs to proceed quickly.
DISCUSSION:
Staff has obtained quotes from the equipment supplier and is working to place the order.
Staff has also obtained a quote from a contractor and is working to set up the agreement to be in place once the equipment is delivered. Public works will be returning to Council to provide updates as work and contracts are established.
CONCLUSION:
NA. Information item only.
