The St. John's Harbour Clean up Project continues with the installation of the Harbour Interceptor Sewer to connect up the Temperance Street outfall to the Sewage Treatment Plant on the South Side of St. John's Harbour. For more photos visit our Harbour Cleanup project.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The City of St. Johns, the City of Mount Pearl and the Town of Paradise have a combined population of 130,000 people. Municipal wastewater from these municipalities is currently discharged, untreated, into St. Johns Harbour. The purpose of the multi-phased St. Johns Harbour Clean-up project is to provide treatment of the wastewater before discharging to the Harbour.

Phase 1 of the project is completed and included:

• collection, redirecting and screening sewage flows from the Waterford Valley drainage basin
  
• a diffused outfall on the south side of the Harbour
  
• construction of the pumping station on Southside Road

Phase 2 of the project includes:

• construction of the primary treatment plant on Southside Road
  
• expansion of the pumping station
  
• construction of the harbour interceptor sewer from Temperance Street to the Southside Road treatment plant
  
• additions to the existing diffused outfall
