The Revelstoke WWTP incorporates two lagoons in series, followed by chlorination, and discharge to the Illecillewaet River. The lagoon facility was constructed in 1975, and has undergone several upgrades since.

The City of Revelstoke retained Dayton & Knight Ltd. to provide engineering consulting services to review and recommend the improvements required to meet the increase in serviced population. The proposed work was identified in several stages including upgrades to Lagoon Cell No.2.

This work includes dewatering and desludging of the accumulated solids in the lagoon, aeration system removal, relining and addition of new aeration diffusers. The dewatering and desludging of the accumulated solids in Lagoon Cell #2 has been substantially completed recently (See pictures). The new liner contract has been awarded but the work has been delayed to Spring 2007 due to weather conditions.
