The Proposed Project

The Department of National Defence (DND) has proposed a project which involves the installation of over 5 km of new water pipes and approximately 3.6 km of new sanitary sewer lines, as well as the construction of a new booster station and wastewater pumping station to replace the existing one, which will be demolished. The wastewater will be discharged at the Valcartier Base at a manhole located near Dubé Street by a pipe that will be installed along the Route de la Bravoure (on north side). The project also includes the upgrading of water inlets and grounding of 22 buildings in the south sector of Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) Valcartier.
