Dalewood Water Reclamation Facility

To support ongoing and future growth, the City is advancing the development of the new Dalewood Water Reclamation Facility. This critical infrastructure will significantly increase wastewater treatment capacity, enhance environmental sustainability, and unlock major opportunities for future development within the city and surrounding region.

The project is being delivered through a Progressive Design-Build (PDB) model, which promotes early and continuous collaboration between the City, designers, and contractors. This approach improves project control, enhances constructability, increases cost certainty, and reduces overall risk.

The Dalewood Water Reclamation Facility is a vital investment in the City’s infrastructure that will:

Support long-term population and economic growth
Improve wastewater treatment performance
Enhance environmental sustainability

The City will continue to provide updates as the project progresses.

Facility Overview

The new Dalewood Water Reclamation Facility will feature a modern, multi-stage wastewater treatment process designed for efficiency, performance, and regulatory compliance. The treatment process will include:

Screening and Grit removal at the Headworks
Aeration tanks
Secondary clarification
Tertiary filtration
Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection
Nutrient recovery facility

All treatment stages will utilize advanced equipment and technologies to ensure high-quality effluent and environmental protection. The treatment process buildings will be interconnected via an underground tunnel to support efficient operations and maintenance access.

The facility will also include essential supporting infrastructure, such as
