City of Saint John Wastewater Flood Protection Project
EF 2024-25 · 2024-12-06
Résumé
The City of Saint John has some of the highest tides in the world and is at increasing risk of flooding from extreme weather, which is magnified by climate change. Two significant riverine flooding events have occurred on the St. John River in the past decade with the highest water levels on record, causing significant damage to infrastructure. The project will upgrade and rehabilitate 3 wastewater systems, mitigating the flooding risk and ensuring the provision of wastewater services to an estimated 32,600 people. The project will reduce or eliminate untreated wastewater discharge caused by flood damage and protect existing infrastructure from damage, as well as reduce expected sewer backup.

Description
The City of Saint John has some of the highest tides in the world and is at increasing risk of flooding from extreme weather, which is magnified by climate change. Two significant riverine flooding events have occurred on the St. John River in the past decade with the highest water levels on record, causing significant damage to infrastructure.

Description (French)
La ville de Saint John connaît certaines des marées les plus hautes du monde et est exposée à un risque croissant d'inondations dues à des conditions météorologiques extrêmes, qui sont amplifiées par le changement climatique. Deux importantes inondations fluviales se sont produites sur le fleuve Saint-Jean au cours de la dernière décennie, avec les niveaux d'eau les plus élevés jamais enregistrés, causant des dommages importants aux infrastructures. Le projet permettra de moderniser et de remettre en état trois systèmes de traitement des eaux usées, ce qui atténuera le risque d'inondation et assurera la prestation de services de traitement des eaux usées à une population estimée à 32 600 personnes. Le projet permettra de réduire ou d'éliminer les rejets d'eaux usées non traitées causés par les inondations et de protéger les infrastructures existantes contre les dommages, ainsi que de réduire les refoulements d'égouts prévus.
