The District of Sparwood has broken ground on their new $20 million wastewater treatment plant facility.
District staff said the new facility improves health and safety for operators and the public and the added capacity will better support future population growth.
“These upgrades represent a major investment in Sparwood’s future. Modernizing our wastewater treatment process is not only a necessity, it also protects our environment, supports community growth, and ensures we meet our commitments to residents and the Elk River,” said mayor David Wilks.
“Council is confident that these upgrades represent the most responsible and cost‑effective path forward. By modernizing our existing facility, we are maximizing value for taxpayers while delivering long‑term improvements essential to Sparwood’s growth and wellbeing.”
Construction is expected to continue until September, 2027.
The district will be providing updates as major milestones are met.
