"EPCOR delivered the facility on time and under budget, meeting all the City's requirements set out in the terms of the agreement," said Regina Mayor Michael Fougere. "We have enjoyed a very positive and productive working relationship with the EPCOR team, and we are excited to provide the citizens of Regina with an outstanding facility that will meet the City's future needs."

To achieve all requirements, the facility underwent a "stress test" to demonstrate it could process high-flow volumes of wastewater – and the load of solids associated with that volume – that are expected as the City grows. The work has also enabled the City to meet the province's more stringent effluent requirements that came into effect in 2017. 

"EPCOR is proud to have led this remarkable project, and now to continue operating the plant for another 26 years. We have appreciated the confidence the City has placed in our team, and look forward to providing customer-focused services and growing with the community," said EPCOR President & CEO Stuart Lee.
