Whycocomagh Wastewater Treatment Outfall Pipe

As part of the recent We'koqma'q Wastewater Treatment Plant design project, it was noted that the existing outfall pipe requires replacement and upsizing of the outfall to a 450 mm diameter pipe to accommodate projected flows and improve system reliability.  A portion of the outfall pipe to be upgraded is along We'koqma'q First Nation reserve lands and carries treated wastewater to the discharge point in Syke River. Approximately 250 m of pipeline will be replaced and a new graveled access road will be constructed above the outfall pipeline to facilitate ongoing inspection, maintenance, and operational access.
