Landfill work contracted to American company
A necessary project to protect ground water at one of the city’s decommissioned landfills will go ahead despite concerns that no Canadian company was eyed to do the work.
On Monday, city council approved a $1.3-million tender to construct an underground wall that would prevent ground water contamination, a mound no longer used in the city’s landfill.
The project involved digging 65 feet down and filling the trench with a type of clay to prevent ground water interaction.
The project was awarded to the Michigan-based company DeWind One-Pass Trenching.
