Colwood Facility Benefits
• Tertiary disinfected
• Short term – treated water to ground
• Longer term – water reuse for irrigation, toilet flushing, ground and creek enhancement
• Heat recovery to local buildings
• Biosolids dried, used as fuel
Financial Implications
• No change to design of main plant – adds 4-5 years capacity for other core municipalities
• Modest short term cost to other municipalities – about $16 per household per year, BUT
• avoided future cost of about $250 per year for WestShore plant
• Colwood is not seeking to have its ‘share’ of the federal/provincial grants
• Colwood will leave $ already contributed
