Mayor Dennis Fenske says the Waste Water Treatment Plant is in the design stage, with construction expected to begin next year.

Giving an update on the city’s strategic plans at a recent Thompson Chamber of Commerce meeting, Fenske said the plant will be state of the art and complete by 2018.

Fenske talked about the future of the Norplex pool, saying the city is looking at the physical footprint of the facility, to see what can be done to meet the needs of everyone. He also said city council will be bringing forward resolutions in the near future that are based off of recommendations from the truth and reconciliation committee report.

Fenske mentioned the City is continuing to develop the new communications committee, and that the city will soon be looking for citizen reps to join.
