The Town of Diamond Valley received notice on July 16th from the Westend Regional Sewage Services Commission for an effluent diffuser in the Sheep River.
The Westend Lagoon is just north and downstream from the town, and they would like to install the effluent diffuser just northwest of the lagoon.
Effluent diffusers mitigate sewage going into the river.
According to the Canadian Navigable Waters Act, you must serve notice to the public and allow 30 days for the public to add their comments.
All comments must be received by August 16, 2025.
This is part of a project started in 2020 by the Alberta government to upgrade sewage systems to modern standards.
