The rebuilding and retrofitting of the Wallaceburg Water Treatment Plant is taking a step forward with the completion of the Class Environmental assessment. 
In March of this year the Chatham-Kent Public Utilities Commission voted to upgrade the existing plant instead of tying into the Chatham system with a new pipeline.
That means construction will be able to move ahead without a full class EA process and that the roughly 3.4-million-dollar upgrades will be able to begin shortly.
The Wallaceburg plant was built 70 years ago and has a capacity for more than 13-thousand cubic metres of water a day.
The report will be presented at this afternoon’s PUC meeting.
