The first of eight contracts was awarded by the City of Montreal
Starting in 2025, the City of Montreal's wastewater will be treated by ozonation.
This project was announced by the City in 2008, and since then, the city's engineers have been working on it, making the necessary adjustments. In total, the project is now approaching $700 million.
According to the City of Montreal, ozone injected into water can destroy 99.9% of bacteria and between 75% and 96% of viruses and emerging substances.
This will prevent the release of active antibiotic molecules into the environment.
