Cultus Lake WWTP (BC)
$14.1 million
THE NORTH Cultus Wastewater Treatment Plant site is located within
the unceded traditional territories of the Stó:lō Peoples and the
nearest community of Soowahlie First Nation. Along with residents,
businesses, user groups, and federal and provincial agencies, the
FVRD recognizes the value of Cultus Lake and the importance of
protecting this sensitive environment with long-term solutions to
ensure its sustainability. In 2015 and 2016, the FVRD went through an
extensive community engagement process and established a Liquid
Waste Management Plan (LWMP), approved in 2019 by the Minister
of Environment. The LWMP identified the need for a Wastewater
Treatment Plant (WWTP) capable of producing Class A effluent as
defined under the BC Municipal Wastewater Regulation, plus additional
phosphorus removal to meet the needs of the community and to
protect Cultus Lake. Construction of the new WWTP is a significant
investment in community vitality, lake health, and the protection of
the Cultus Lake watershed. The construction of the new wastewater
treatment plant includes supply, installation, and commissioning of
process equipment. Two pre-cast concrete buildings will house the
process equipment. The main building will house the headworks,
blowers, odour control, sludge dewatering, and chemical dosing
equipment, as well as the site office. The second building will include
tertiary filtration and coagulant dosing. The treated effluent will be
released back into the environment via one of two rapid infiltration
basins. Included in the scope of work is also all required process
piping, yard piping, electrical (including backup power source),
mechanical, miscellaneous instrumentation, SCADA, landscaping and
other ancillary works. •
