To keep pace with Oliver's community growth, Towns for Tomorrow funding of $387,200 from the provincial government will assist the town in providing improved wastewater services.
The work includes:
- Construction of a 2,200 cubic metre equalization basin;
- Installation of influent and outlet piping and other piping upgrades; and
- Installation of two floating aeration-mixers.
The project will provide for additional wastewater storage capacity, allowing the town to be more energy efficient and pump wastewater during non-peak hours.
The community will continue to benefit from the wastewater effluent that is recycled and used for irrigation.
