Construction is expected to begin within weeks, with biosolids treatment scheduled to start in October 2030 and substantial completion targeted for March 2031.

Engineering Changes Reduce CostsThe construction package includes a new biosolids treatment facility, expanded digester capacity and modifications to existing plant infrastructure. The city estimates the biosolids project will generate approximately 3,770 person-years of employment and contribute roughly $442 million to Manitoba's gross domestic product during construction. The planned nutrient-removal facilities will complete the final major construction phase of the North End Water Pollution Control Centre modernization.
