North End Sewage Treatment Upgrades
$2.34 billion
THE SCOPE of work for the first capital project includes the design and construction of a new
headworks facility that will include a raw sewage pump station, a micro-tunnel extension of existing
interceptor sewers, a grit removal system, a main control room, fine screens and compactors, and a
plant emergency generator facility. This project is currently in construction. The second capital project
includes the design and construction of a new biosolids facility that will address end-of-life equipment
and regulatory requirements regarding the recovery of nutrients and maximizing biosolids reuse. It will
add new facilities to treat the sludge from the City’s three sewage treatment plants and replace end-oflife equipment. The third capital project includes the design and construction of the nutrient removal
facilities that will remove nitrogen and phosphorus from the wastewater. •

Northwest Langley Wastewater Treatment Plant
$2.3 billion
THE NORTHWEST Langley Wastewater Treatment Plant, which currently serves 30,000 people, is being
expanded to serve over 280,000 people in the Township of Langley, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows and
North Surrey. The plant expansion is one of several projects taking place to improve the sustainability
and resilience of wastewater treatment in the region. To divert the flows to the Northwest Langley
Wastewater Treatment Plant, a new pump station has been built north of the Fraser River in Maple
Ridge. Two new sewer pipes have been constructed under the Fraser River to connect the pump station
in Maple Ridge to the upgraded treatment plant in Langley. A new storage tank, located with the pump
station, will temporarily store wastewater to significantly reduce overflows during storms. •
