Description
Ferryland, Newfoundland is seeking to improve its sewage treatment services. Currently, much of the Town is notserviced by a central collection system. The Town is interested in investigating the suitability of a natural wastewatertreatment system, which uses soils and plants to treat wastewater for discharge into the ground, or into bodies of water.The process is known as Kickuth BioReactor Engineered Wetland Technology and could improve current wastewatermanagement. Study results will help identify priority areas for treatment and cost analysis.
