Notes:<br />

1. The rated capacity for the Wellington (Steeves Subdivision) WWTF shown is for the proposed Wellington WWTF<br />

to replace the existing package extended aeration facility (under construction).<br />

2. Upgrades are currently underway to upgrade the Eastern Passage WWTF to a secondary treatment facility, and<br />

increase the rated capacity to 25,000 m 3 /d.<br />

Full details of each of the WWTFs are presented in the Wastewater System Review in<br />

Biosolids Management<br />

In addition to the liquid process treatment plants, <strong>Halifax</strong> Water also operates a number<br />

of biosolids processing facilities. The <strong>Halifax</strong> Harbour Solutions (HHS) facilities (<strong>Halifax</strong>,<br />

Dartmouth, and Herring Cove) have on-site dewatering facilities for the undigested<br />

primary sludge generated by the liquid treatment train. The Aerotech WWTF provides<br />

centralized dewatering for undigested sludge and anaerobically digested biosolids from<br />

the other <strong>Halifax</strong> Water WWTFs: liquid, anaerobically digested sludge is hauled to<br />

Aerotech WWTF from the Mill Cove, Eastern Passage, and<br />
