Sewer Project

The sewer project consists of the construction of a waste water collection system and a waste water treatment plant. This treatment plant is a biological sequential batch reactor, a compact and powerful technology using closed basins. It will be located on Wharf Road, next to the snow dump site.

The sewer system will extend between Crescent and Mount Pleasant, north of Lakeview. The Bellevue sector will join Como Gardens via a pipe line following a Bell Canada servitude. The serviced sectors are indicated in orange on the sketch.

Sewer Works

The sewer treatment plant construction will begin in March 2008 and will last approximately one year. Construction of the sewer system network will begin in May 2008 and is scheduled for completion by mid-2009.

Hudson hosts many tourists in the summer. In order to minimize the impact on traffic circulation and businesses, work on central Main road will only begin in the fall of 2008.

Drinking Water Project

In order to ensure a secure supply of water, a new well will be brought into service. Moreover, the quality of water will be improved by the addition of an iron and manganese removal system and by disinfection.

Drinking Water Works

The drinking water plant is in the final design stage and the certificate of authorization is expected soon.

Temporary Inconveniences

The works will involve some inconveniences: your patience and your collaboration are essential to the smooth flow of the project. Technical Services will keep you informed, whenever possible, of street closures, detoured roads and of interruptions to water services. Your next Bulletin, the local papers and the Internet site (www.ville.hudson.qc.ca) will provide continuous updates.

We call upon your tolerance and your public spirit! If your neighbour suffers an interruption to the water service, offer him some! If the pipe installation prevents your neighbour from parking in his driveway, offer him parking space in yours! Let’s be neighbourly.

Sewer Connections

Residential and business connections to the sewer system are the responsibility of the owners. No sewer connection may be activated before the 2009 wastewater treatment plant and network start-up. A notice will be sent to you in due course.

Should you have any questions, please direct your inquiries to Hudson Technical Services Department at 450-458-0222

Thank you for your continued patience and cooperation!
