AB-2025-06459 - Hamlet of Marlboro Water & Sewer Systems-Phase 1 Project

The Hamlet of Marlboro is located approximately 26 km west of Edson and 230 km west of Edmonton, Alberta, with access via Highway 16. According to the 2016 Canadian Census, the Hamlet has a population of 90. A legal survey conducted by YHC identified 64 residential dwellings and several institutional structures including community center.

Provision of water and wastewater services to Marlboro residents has been a priority for Council. Due to the high capital cost, the project was divided into two stages:

• Stage 1 (currently under construction): Includes a wastewater lagoon, treated wastewater pipeline, and outfall structure.
• Stage 2: Encompasses the design and construction of a water supply system, wastewater collection system, and road network rehabilitation.
Due to its significant cost, Stage 2 will be implemented in three phases, beginning with Phase 1 in 2026. More details regarding the phases within this stage can be found in the attached presentation.

A consultant has completed a 90% design package for the water and sewer systems. The successful proponent will assume responsibility from this stage and provide services through the completion of Phase 1. Subject to performance evaluation, the contract may be extended to Phases 2 and 3.

In addition to the scope defined above, the proponent shall also assess the existing Water Treatment Facility capacity and auxiliary infrastructure to ensure that the current and future needs are met. The current storage capacity of the Water Treatment Facility is 181m3. The treatment capacity is 200m3/day.
