Sewage plant now up and running

Well­ington North councillor Dan Yake said at a recent council session the Mount Forest sew­age treatment plant is up and running.

He said they were planning to divert 100% of the flow as of Nov. 17; the plant was in operation as of last week.

Yake said the tanks are full,  and things seem to be working well, although a few items need to be worked out.

Work has started to de­commis­sion the old plant.

Mayor Mike Broomhead asked if the bugs were happy – the ones used in the sewage treatment process.

Yake said they seem­ed to be but officials are waiting for a few more to show up. “It’s quite an operation.”

Broomhead said, “It’s one project where you want the bugs to get in – not out.”
