THE PUMP STATION AND STORAGE TANK ARE BEING CONSTRUCTED ADJACENT TO THE EXISTING PUMP STATION, OFF THE 113B AVE EXIT FROM GOLDEN EARS WAY Overview of the Northwest Langley Wastewater Treatment Projects The Northwest Langley Wastewater Treatment Plant, which currently serves 30,000 people in Langley, will be expanded on the same site to serve 230,000 people, including residents and businesses in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows across the Fraser River. Untreated wastewater from Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows currently flows to the Annacis Island astewater Treatment Plant. To divert the flows to Northwest Langley astewater Treatment Plant, a new pump station is required north of the Fraser River, along with two pipes under the Fraser connecting the pump station in Maple Ridge to the treatment plant. This upgrade has been phased over several years and will be constructed through four projects: • Pump Station and Storage Tank: a new pump station and storage tank in Maple Ridge near Golden Ears Way and 113B Avenue. Construction is currently underway on the north side of the Fraser River. • Fraser River Crossing: two new pipes tunneled under the Fraser River to carry wastewater from the new pump station in Maple Ridge to the treatment plant in the Township of Langley. • Northwest Langley Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion: expansion of the existing wastewater treatment plant in the Township of Langley. • Outfall Pipe: a new outfall pipe to carry treated wastewater from the plant to the Fraser River.
