Lift Station #1 and Sewage Forcemain Replacement - City of Yellowknife
FY 2025-26 · 2025-10-15
Summary
The Lift Station No. 1 and Sewage Forcemain Replacement Project in the City of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories involves complete replacement of Lift Station No. 1 and its accompanying sewage forcemain. Built in 1967, Lift Station No. 1 is the second largest in the city's wastewater system and is now inadequate due to significant growth in population. The project will construct a new lift station on the same site, ensuring no service disruption, and replace 500 metres of sanitary sewage forcemain. The old lift station will be demolished once the new one is operational. The new facility will be designed to accommodate future population and housing developments for the next 50 or more years. This initiative aims to address current maintenance and safety concerns, enhance energy efficiency, and include a public charging station for electric vehicles. It also helps to spur housing developing, which is stagnant because of outdated infrastructure.

Description (French)
Le projet de remplacement de la station de relèvement n° 1 et de la conduite de refoulement d’égout de la ville de Yellowknife, dans les Territoires du Nord-Ouest, prévoit le remplacement complet de la station de relèvement n° 1 et de la conduite de refoulement d’égout qui l'accompagne. Construite en 1967, la station de relèvement n° 1 est la deuxième plus grande station de relèvement des eaux usées de la ville et est désormais inadaptée en raison de la forte croissance de la population. Le projet prévoit la construction d'une nouvelle station de relèvement sur le même site, pour assurer qu’il n’y ait aucune interruption de service, et le remplacement de 500 mètres de conduite de refoulement des eaux usées. L'ancienne station de relèvement sera démolie une fois que la nouvelle sera opérationnelle. La nouvelle installation sera conçue pour répondre aux besoins futurs de la population et des habitations pour les 50 prochaines années ou plus. Cette initiative vise à répondre aux préoccupations actuelles en matière d'entretien et de sécurité, à améliorer l'efficacité énergétique et à inclure une station de recharge publique pour les véhicules électriques. Elle contribue également à stimuler le développement du logement, qui stagne en raison d'infrastructures obsolètes.
