The Proposed Project

The Sachigo Lake First Nation has a water treatment system which is nearing the end of it's usable life and requires updating/replacing to meet water demand in design year 20. The existing WTP building also requires updating, and repairs. A new Genset unit is also required as a backup source of power for the WTP in the event of a power failure in the community. New lift pumps will be installed in the raw water wet well.
