Sewer project Update
October 26-2024
The Darwell Lagoon Commission, the County of Lac Ste. Anne (LSA) and the Summer Village of Silver Sands (SVSS) are currently working on a forced main sewer system to collect sewage from SVSS septic tanks and have it piped to the Darwell lagoon. This project will take sewage pumped from resident's tanks into an underground collection system and transport it under 70 psi pressure via pipeline to a lift station near RR52 and Hwy 625 then on to the Darwell lagoon.
This is part of a larger project that will combine lagoons throughout LSA taking the treated sewage to a common discharge point.
Engineering has been ongoing for about 2 years with drainage routing, surveys and test holes being completed.
To date there has been no cost to the SVSS.
SVSS will be responsible for several collection lines within the Summer Village.
Residents will be responsible for individuals connections to the system.
Firm pricing is expected by the end of May with public open houses to follow. Engineers and contractors will attend this meeting as well as Council for questions and feedback.
It is Council's opinion that this is a good project to look at as Government grants are subsidizing the bulk of the project.
