Official Opening of the Drinking Water Treatment Plant in Gracefield (QC)
 The problems associated with drinking water in the town of Gracefield located in the Outaouais region are now a thing of the past. The long awaited filtration plant was officially inaugurated on July 24, 2009. Attending the event were Lawrence Cannon (Member of Parliament for the riding of Pontiac), Stéphanie Vallée (Member of the National Assembly of Quebec for the riding of Gatineau), and Gracefield’s mayor Réal Rochon.
Gracefield can now state that it benefits from an innovative, cutting-edge water treatment technology, made in Quebec no less, that provides it with a continuous and cost-effective supply of very high-quality drinking water. What’s more, Gracefield citizens are being supplied with non-chemically treated water, which is in line with the most fundamental principles of Sustainable Development.
With a capacity of 720 m3/day, the turnkey DaguaFlo plant is the second project of this type that Dagua has built in Québec.

New Contracts Awarded to Dagua
 Fort-Coulonge (Outaouais region) - 2,000 m3/day
The call for tenders was issued by the Cima+ engineering consulting firm in January 2009 www.cima.ca. Given the high level of organic contamination in the Coulonge River, the DaguaFlo technology was the only treatment line that passed the pilot testing in 2008 to treat drinking water in accordance with government standards.
Valued at $4.4 million, the project is currently being carried out by the general contractor ED Brunet www. edbrunet.com with the start-up slated for the winter of 2009.
Bryson (Outaouais region) - 640 m3/day
 
Bryson is now the third turnkey contract (treatment technology + building) that Dagua has completed since 2007. At the time of the call for tenders in April 2009, issued by the JA Lecompte engineering consulting firm, operating costs were assessed to be 30 percent of the total, with capital costs making up the remaining 70 percent.
Of the three bidders who submitted a price, Dagua’s bid was determined to be the most competitive and the municipality of Bryson awarded it the contract valued at $2.5 million. Start-up is planned for the winter of 2010.
Les Méchins (Gaspé Peninsula) - 1,978 m3/day
The Les Méchins contract, awarded to Dagua in July 2009, is the company’s sixth installation order for a membrane filtration plant in Québec ($1.1 million). The complete technical and economic analysis of the bids took into consideration the companies total costs, as well as the operational costs and the future plant’s construction costs as a function of the floor space used by the suppliers’ equipment. Accordingly, the absence of chemical products and UV lights in its filtration process as well as the absence of any complex waste treatment infrastructure were some of the factors that gave Dagua a competitive advantage.
Run by the Roche Ltd. Consulting Group www.roche.ca, the project will enter into its second phase in the winter of 2009 to identify by means of a call for tenders the contractor that will construct the building and connected infrastructures. The plant’s start-up is scheduled for December 2010.
