Canada announces $22M in water infrastructure projects

This week, Canadian officials announced the construction of a new water treatment system in Petit-Rocher in New Brunswick, and almost $20M in funding for water infrastructure across the Yukon province. The Petit-Rocher project will see the construction of a new water treatment system that uses nano filtration, along with the expansion of the existing pump station. Additionally, a new treatment system for the filtration backwash, and connections to municipal water services, will also be built. Once completed, the site will be rehabilitated and expanded with a new parking lot to better assist with increased capacity and demand at the existing centre.

The new Alberta advantage? Wastewater turned into beer in Calgary

The new Alberta advantage? Wastewater turned into beer in Calgary

A unique project in Calgary has successfully transformed treated wastewater into the amber brew many Canadians enjoy. The University of Calgary’s Advancing Canadian Water Assets (ACWA) recently partnered with Village Brewery and Xylem Inc., an American water technology company, to produce Alberta’s first beer made with reused water. Village Brewery made a limited batch of Village Blonde Natural Golden Ale using wastewater provided by ACWA.
