The City of Thompson takes over control of the Water Treatment Plant

Vale will be transferring the Water Treatment Plant to the City of Thompson.

 

The discussions began between the two after Vale and the City of Thompson signed an agreement in 2012 regarding Vale's municipal taxes and funding arrangements.

 

Here Gary Ceppetelli, City Manager,  talks about the transfer.

 

“In that agreement it really started to talk about the initial discussions about the potential transfer for the water treatment plant from Vale to the City of Thompson. So following through with that agreement the city and Vale have been meeting to work out the specific details to what that transfer will look like.”

 

Vale currently operates the water treatment plant at no cost to the city, and even recently completed a 15 million dollar upgrade.

 

There has been no official transfer date set just yet. A letter of understanding will be written to lay out the plan to train employees and prepare both the plant and the city for the transfer.
