Waste Water update

By Mayor John Steins

Or should I say ‘water reclamation facility’?

As some of us know, the ongoing saga of secondary treatment in Dawson remains unresolved. But we shouldn’t loose hope, because during Dawson’s court hearing presided over by Justice Lilles last Thursday, everyone gave their thumbs up on progress to date. Even counsel for environment Canada was uncharacteristically restrained and less acerbic than usual while listing all of Dawson’s shortcomings in relation to fulfilling the court order.

The project team comprised of some YTG and Dawson staff members have done an amazing job of bringing forward what appears to be a viable solution to our treatment requirements.

All will be revealed by the end of May of this year (hopefully). So, stay tuned!

    I know I’m crazy, but it was disappointing not to have been able to listen to this session. Some one forgot to set up the usual telephone conferencing at the court registry office. I understand that the next session might actually be held here. That would be good news.

    I read with interest your recent comments to the CBC about getting what you pay for. For your info, I will tell you what you get for $16 million. You get a proven system (over 800 installations around the world, most in municipal applications like Dawson City). You get effluent GUARANTEED to meet your regulated guidelines. You get low operating costs (which should be of interest to you). You would finally put an end to this sewage saga for $16 million. Somehow, despite these facts, our bid did not meet minimum technical standards according to the committee.
    And this is not a low ball bid. We do not play the “oh that is extra game”. We include everything in our price. I would be happy to provide more information as you are clearly not receiving all the facts.

    What exactly does the comment from “dyncessef” have to do with our SST problem?
