Clover Point sewage site could be underground

The idea of cutting into the Dallas Road cliffs and corralling a portion of the shallow foreshore for the construction of a treatment plant adjacent to Clover Point was mooted some 20 years ago.

A similar facility could be built at Macaulay Point, thus eliminating the need for costly pressure mains and pumping stations and, being smaller plants, could include the treatment of biosolids. This would also be in keeping with the mayor’s idea of sharing the responsibility between municipalities.

A plant at Clover Point would be underground and not seen from Dallas Road. The area could continue to be used by those who enjoy walking and running along the waterfront.
