Project Update: March 20

Construction of the new headworks facility at Windsor’s Wastewater Treatment Facility is now approximately 80% complete and remains on schedule for a May/June startup.

Crews are currently completing final interior work, including HVAC installation, electrical systems, equipment outfitting and protective coatings.

Once the new headworks facility is operational, the existing headworks building will be converted into an influent pump station. The new pump station will significantly increase system capacity, with one new pump having the ability to handle approximately three times the capacity of a single existing pump. The upgraded system will also utilize coarse screens instead of fine screens, which better align with the new facility design.

The most complex phase currently underway involves retrofitting the new system to connect with the existing headworks building, ensuring the upgraded infrastructure integrates smoothly with the current wastewater system.
