Strathcona County, as the lead, wanted to explore the feasibility of servicing the industrial sites with a unique single source provider of process water instead of a multiple number of private run systems. 

In addition, both Sturgeon and Strathcona County wished to review the opportunity to collect process wastewater and re-treat for reuse to provide a “closed-loop” system in the area.

The system, once functional, could deliver, treat and re-use up to 8000 L/s of water and re-use wastewater.
