A Tour of Tsawwassen First Nation’s Wastewater Treatment PlantA Tour of Tsawwassen First Nation’s Wastewater Treatment Plant<div class="ExternalClass144C2DD2232C427A8F6888B64918D7E5"><p>​Metro Vancouver staff last month toured the Tsawwassen First Nation (TFN) wastewater treatment plant as well as its wetlands and sports fields. Hosted by the TFN’s managers and staff, the tour was part of an exchange between Metro Vancouver and TFN, and followed a visit by TFN youth to the Annacis Island Wastewater Treatment Plant in late August. </p><p>TFN’s $27-million plant, which opened in March 2016, took two years to build. It was constructed through a design-build contract and comprises a sequence batch reactor system with tertiary treatment capability, using ultraviolet light treatment technology. The plant services 2,200 residences, two malls and other commercial developments. </p><p>The tour provided staff with information on TFN perspectives and goals and ambitions. It included engineers and communications coordinators from Metro Vancouver’s Water Services and Liquid Waste Services departments who are working on upgrades to regional wastewater treatment plants at Annacis, Iona Island and North West Langley, as well as staff from Metro Vancouver Parks and Aboriginal Relations. </p></div>http://www.metrovancouver.org/metroupdate/PublishingImages/Issue48-TFNWWTP.jpg2018-12-19T08:00:00ZGP0|#3063252b-10c7-407c-bea0-257765670655;L0|#03063252b-10c7-407c-bea0-257765670655|Issue 48;GTSet|#d14ffe11-45dc-48fb-8684-ff109cf15a74<div class="ExternalClass32D1075AFA1D4937A8441AFFAE60DC27"><p>​Metro Vancouver staff last month toured the Tsawwassen First Nation (TFN) wastewater treatment plant as well as its wetlands and sports fields. </p></div>0
