Outfall 5 and Meadowview Lane Utility Upgrades

About the Project

As of 2025, approximately 22,000 storm sewer services are connected to the City of St. Albert. Protecting the Sturgeon River from the impacts of existing and future developments has always been a priority for the City of St. Albert (City). The City has identified Outfall 5 for implementation of two oil and grit separators (OGS) to remove sediment and other pollutants from stormwater before it reaches the Sturgeon River.
