North Shore Wastewater Cost Crisis

After settling lawsuits with original contractor Acciona for $235 million (to be reinvested), the project is now being completed by PCL Constructors, expected to finish in 2030. This new facility replaces an outdated primary treatment plant, ensuring cleaner water returns to the environment. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
