Infrastructures for drinking water and wastewater Sample Clauses

Infrastructures for drinking water and wastewater. Context On November 26, 2002, the Québec Government announced its Québec Water Policy. The policy, which was the result of an extensive consultation process initiated in 1997, is structured around the following five key areas: ▪ Reform of water governance. ▪ Implementation of integrated management of the St. Xxxxxxxx River. ▪ Protection of water quality and aquatic ecosystems. ▪ Continuation of water purification efforts and improved management of water services. ▪ Promotion of water-related recreotourism activities.

The City’s water distribution and wastewater collection infrastructure is in serious disrepair and is faced with a number of problems: ▪ Wastewater treatment equipment is relatively new, as it was implemented in the 1970s. However, more than 30% of the aqueduct pipes in the City are over 50 years old. ▪ The two key drinking water production plants in Montréal – Atwater and Desbaillets – which provide 85% of the drinking water produced by the City, will have to undergo major modifications in order to provide water that meets the quality criteria set out in the new Regulation respecting the quality of d...
