The City of Meadow Lake is set to acquire a new Actiflo clarifying unit for the water treatment plant. The unit is designed to assist with the water clarification process before the potable water is distributed to its respective communities.
Mayor Merlin Seymour explained the purchase of this system was necessary as the current model installed in the treatment plant is near the end of its life cycle.
“We were made aware of that by SaskWater before our agreement was signed when we sold our water treatment plants to SaskWater. They’re in the process of moving forward with the second device, getting it ready to put into place so when/if the current one fails down the road, then we’ll already have the new one in place,” Seymour said.
The city is said to be spending more than $600,000 on this project, while the federal and provincial governments are putting forward nearly $1,000,000 and $825,000, respectively. This investment comes as part of a joint-funded initiative that will see approximately $110.7 million spent on 23 infrastructure projects across the Saskatchewan.
