Arnprior water use remains well below full capacity

Drinking water and wastewater are well below the maximum capacity each plant is able to process, Arnprior town staff revealed at a recent council meeting. Some social media commentators often remark that town infrastructure can’t provide services for all the new residential units, let alone any more industrial or other types of growth. The annual reports presented at the March 28 meeting dispute that assertion. The water filtration plant (WFP) and waste pollution control centre (WPCC) currently have average daily flows between 39 and 39 per cent of their design capabilities, CAO Robin Paquette said after the meeting. Even factoring in future growth –Statistics Canada recently named Arnprior the 10th fastest-growing community in its category – infrastructure remains ahead.
