The Cape Breton Regional Municipality will be finalizing the last upgrades to the Braemar Lift Station on July 22 as part of the Sydney Harbour West Wastewater Collection and Treatment Project.
The Braemar Lift Station, located at the intersection of Braemar Drive and Westmount Road in Westmount, will undergo work that requires a temporary shutdown of the lift (pumping) station for up to 48 hours. During this period, untreated wastewater may be discharged to Sydney Harbour. Residents are advised to avoid activities involving direct contact with harbour water in the area during this time.
All work is being completed in coordination with Environment and Climate Change Canada to ensure full compliance with regulatory requirements.
The Sydney Harbour West Wastewater Collection and Treatment Project includes a new wastewater treatment plant, which has been completed, along with upgrades to wastewater collection and pumping infrastructure.
