Wastewater Treatment Plant Biofilter Update

Details
Published: Monday, 29 June 2026 11:50
Wastewater Treatment Plant Biofilter Organic material Replacement
 
The Town recently completed the replacement of the organic materials for the biofilter at the Wastewater Treatment Plant. The organic materials provide a good habitat for aerobic bacteria that remove odorous gases from the air. The Town’s biofilter has a significant impact on suppressing the unpleasant odours that are a byproduct of the wastewater treatment process.
 
Thank you to our Contractor and their Subcontractor, our Wastewater Staff and Public Works for the successful completion of this important Capital Project.

Update On The Community Centre Entrance Upgrade

Details
Published: Thursday, 25 June 2026 11:41
If you've visited Lunenburg's Community Centre recently, you've probably noticed some construction taking place at the main entrance.
 
These upgrades are part of the Town's ongoing commitment to improving accessibility for all residents and visitors. Thanks to support from a Provincial Recreation Facility Grant, we are making several important improvements to the entrance area.
 
Once complete, the project will feature a new accessible ramp, updated handrails, and - most importantly - a significantly improved entrance with new doors to make accessing the facility easier and more welcoming for everyone.
 
Work is progressing well and should be completed soon. We look forward to unveiling the finished project and continuing to make our community spaces more accessible and inclusive for all.
