Winkler WWTP
$73 million
Location: Winkler, Man
Owner: City of Winkler
THE FIRST phase of upgrades to the Winkler system includes building a
new mechanical wastewater treatment facility and retrofitting the first of
two existing lagoon cells, and adding two lift stations in Stanley. About 45
kilometres of piping will be added to connect the nearby communities of
Schanzenfeld and Reinfeld to the treatment system. The project, initially
proposed in 2012, is currently in its second tender phase. The project was
sent back to the design phase in 2022 after bids came in much higher than
the $48 million that had been approved for the project. The new system
will meet both federal and provincial environmental requirements and
create more regional capacity for wastewater treatment. Winkler is one of
Manitoba’s fastest growing municipalities, increasing its population from
14,000 to more than 21,000 in less than 10 years.
The federal government is investing more than $25.2 million in the project,
with another $21 million coming from the province of Manitoba. The City of
Winkler and RM of Stanley will contribute a combined $27.2 million. •
