Industra Construction Corp. has been awarded the construction contract for upgrades to the Mill Street Sewage Pumping Station in The Blue Mountains, with mobilization scheduled to begin in October.
WT Infrastructure Inc. completed the design and engineering for the project, which will involve major mechanical, electrical and structural upgrades to the existing pumping station at 18 Bay Street East.
The work includes construction of a new extension to the existing pump station building, a new wet well and an expansion of the existing dry well.
Industra will also remove and dispose of the station’s existing electrical and mechanical equipment and install new electrical and mechanical systems.
The project scope includes temporary bypass pumping of incoming wastewater to maintain operation of the system during construction.
Additional work includes general renovations and refurbishment of the existing building, construction of a new asphalt access lane and site restoration.
Construction will take place on town-owned property, with the existing pumping station remaining an active part of the municipal wastewater system during the work.
Mobilization is expected to begin in October 2026. The Town of The Blue Mountains has not provided a construction value or completion date in its project update.
