The new pumps will create additional capacity to help manage combined sewage overflows and capture, transport, and treat increased amounts of wastewater.
WD News: The Toronto, Ontario metropolitan area has seen rapid population growth over the last several decades and has also developed a Wet Weather Flow Master Plan that aims to virtually eliminate Combined Sewage Overflows (CSO) from the sewage collection system.
To support this expansion, Xylem has been selected by the City of Toronto to supply customised equipment for a new Integrated Pumping Station (IPS) – a critical component that ensures the reliable and safe transport of wastewater. The project will replace two existing pumping stations, one operating since 1911 and the other since the early 1970s, both adjacent to the Ashbridges Bay Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP).
The plant’s new IPS will include 14 Flygt A-C series dry pit pumps. These pumps, designed for low maintenance and operational costs, are expected to reduce Toronto’s energy consumption rate and ensure reliable station operation.
“Our solutions, expertise, and local presence will help ensure safe, reliable, and sustainable wastewater treatment for generations to come,” said Matthew Pine, Chief Operating Officer, Xylem.
The project is currently in its design stage; construction is expected to start in 2025 and take ten years to complete.
