Second 'juicy' topic added - Wastewater Solids Handling

The results of a review of the options for handling the solids from the advanced wastewater treatment plant are now available. The City published an executive summary and the complete results of the review on shapeyourcitypenticton.ca in preparation for the upcoming open house. The City announced plans for the review in April to determine if the current system of composting the solids at the Campbell Mountain Landfill is the best investment for the future given recent changes in the regulations for compost sites, the age of the City’s site at the landfill, and a drop in the local market for the City’s compost.

The results of the wastewater solids handling review is one of the four ‘juicy’ topics that will be discussed at the open house on August 28 at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre. Residents are invited to drop in between 4 pm and 7 pm, enjoy a fresh juice or smoothie and share their thoughts on the wastewater solids review as well as the legalization of cannabis, the modernization of the building bylaw and the findings from the SOEC parking study. Anyone not able to attend the open house can review the materials and share their feedback on shapeyourcitypenticton.ca beginning August 24.
