As myFM reported to you last week, after a very long road comprised of bumps and detours along the way, Strathroy-Caradoc Council has made a decision regarding the Mount Brydges Wastewater Treatment facility.
That decision? To spend about $13 million on the construction of headworks and extended aeration upgrades at the facility. This week on Minute With the Mayor, Coilin Grantham supported that decision.
If you remember when we first ran the story for you, we told that at the council meeting last week, representation from Sifton Properties and Brunet and CO. emphatically stating that this decision by council would not be the right choice. Grantham commented on that as well.
The Mayor wasn’t done there, as he did not hold back on expressing his feelings regarding the concerns from the developers.
Construction costs are estimated to be approximately $13 million, with additional costs of approximately $700,000 expected for engineering services and full-time site inspection and contract administration. Construction is estimated to start this Winter, and take approximately 14 to 18 months.
