TOP 50 WATER PROJECTS 2024
THE CURRENT wastewater treatment plant, owned
and operated by sNGD for the past 26 years, has
reached its end of life and requires replacement.
This new replacement plant and improved outfall
will serve 91 connected residential units and
support the conversion and connection of 88
buildings, which currently rely on septic wastewater
systems. The additional capacity this plant provides
will enable future developments for years to come. •

STARTING IN 2024, ALUS will add 260 hectares
of new water quality improvement projects to the
Sydenham and Thames River watersheds through
2028 through a single funding stream. These
additional hectares of water quality management
projects have an expected phosphorus reduction
capacity of 0.5lbs/acre.This will contribute to 322
lbs of total phosphorus diverted annually from
Lake Erie and its tributaries.
This added phosphorus reduction will be
achieved with nearly $2 million in new funding
provided through Environment and Climate
Change Canada. •
Location: Boucherville, PQ
Owner: Government of Quebec
THE PROJECT scope includes building a new
fish pass to help fish reach the Rivière aux Pins
spawning ground, located upstream of the dam. This
is one of the highest-potential spawning grounds on
the St. Lawrence River between Montreal and Lake
Saint-Pierre. The warm-water fish that inhabit the
river, such as yellow perch and pike, swim up the
Rivière aux Pins in early spring to lay their eggs in
the wet meadow flooded upstream.
This colossal structure comprises no fewer than
24 weirs, forming a long staircase for the fish. Each
weir consists of a steel sheet pile and a wooden
indentation.
This project was made possible with the financial
support of Environnement Québec, Fondation de la
faune du Québec, Ville de Boucherville, TC Energy,
The Coca-Cola Company and Ducks Unlimited
Canada’s American financial partners. •
