To comply with updated Canadian environmental effluent water-quality requirements, the city of Lloydminster is in the process of building a new wastewater treatment facility. The project is now (fall 2022) more than two-thirds complete. Terry Burton, Lloydminster’s director of planning and engineering, says the new facility will be commissioned in late 2023 and is expected to be fully operational by December 2023. The city of 31,000, which straddles the Alberta-Saskatchewan border, constructed the original facility in 1983.
