Dredging and excavation at Meadow Lake’s sewage lagoon are complete, but the city says a remaining pile of grit is contributing to odours on the south side.
The lagoon is now open and accepting septic loads from vacuum trucks, the City of Meadow Lake said in a Nov. 3 notice.
The amount of grit and other debris in cells A1 and 1 required excavation in addition to dredging to remove the material. Some excavated grit was left on site to dry before it could be hauled away.
The remaining pile is to be removed next. The city said, “As it dries and is hauled away, we expect odours in the area to gradually improve.”
