The first capital project in this series focuses on
the design and construction of a state-of-the-art
headworks facility, which will feature several
essential components to optimize wastewater
treatment. Among these are a raw sewage pump
station, a micro-tunnel extension for existing interceptor sewers, a grit removal system, a central
control room, fine screens and compactors, and
an emergency generator facility for the plant.
These upgrades will significantly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of Winnipeg’s wastewater treatment, ultimately contributing to a cleaner
and more sustainable urban environment. •

Annacis Island Wastewater
Treatment Plant Expansion
$1.27 billion
THE ANNACIS Island Wastewater Treatment Plant
Expansion is a forward-thinking project aimed at
improving water sustainability, infrastructure resiliency, and water protection for the surrounding
communities. Comprising over 20 planned onsite
improvement projects, this initiative seeks to optimize the treatment plant’s capacity and efficiency
in anticipation of future demands. Key components
of the expansion include the installation of new
trickling filters and secondary clarifiers, which
will not only increase treatment efficiency but
also contribute to preserving the region’s water
