Mr. Sean Laffey:

There are probably three mechanisms we are going to use, which are complementary. We are looking at what we call free treatment. If we have a project to upgrade a wastewater treatment plant in the pipeline, pardon the pun, we will allow developers to treat their own waste to a certain standard on site and we will accept it. When the plant is upgraded, we will ask them to decommission their on-site wastewater treatment systems.

The second mechanism has come out recently. In cases under 100 PE, we can work with developers for stand-alone solutions that we would take in charge and operate at public expense.

We are considering a third mechanism. It is a piece of work that will take a while. We are considering modular solutions that can be fabricated off-site, in a factory-style setting, and we can produce units up to 1,000 PE that we can simply install next to an existing public wastewater treatment plant.
