Development projects
Since 2015, the municipality has been developing through three large-scale projects in the Centre-Village. These three projects are served by the three drainage utilities (aqueduct, sanitary and storm water) and connect to Chemin Old Chelsea’s mains.
In the same direction as the rest of the Centre-Village network, these three system extensions are processed at the wastewater treatment plant and the Chemin Hudson water purification plant.
These three projects are equipped with integrated infrastructures, that is, pumping stations and holding tanks.
