System worm gear City of Alma The city of Alma has a system of worm gear to treat its sewage. It has long been a break-in period to allow the sand to separate sewage.Sewage is transported in ponds aerated and treated once discharged into the river Early Discharge.   The introduction of the system vis endless amounts to $ 1 400 000. Initially, construction costs ponds were valued at $ 18 000 000, now they total $ 41 400 000. They are divided into the following proportions: 90% funded by the Government of Quebec (37 260 $ 000) and 10% funded by City of Alma (4 140 00 $).   System aerated ponds St-Bruno Wastewater from the municipality of Saint-Bruno and two large industries were dumped into the river Bédard. To eliminate the pollution load, the municipality of San Bruno has a system of wastewater treatment ponds 4 ventilated. All equipment have been designed to cope with the peak period of August caused by the freezing plant blueberries, which runs at full speed.   The residue of the production of cheese (whey) from the Fromagerie Saint-Laurent are not all treated with the treatment of domestic sewage in the municipality of Saint-Bruno. Indeed, much of this little milk is delivered to the plant Lactel Chambord where it is processed into powder for animal feed. Lactel deals between 8 and 9 million litres of whey per year and the plant has a 5-year contract with the Fromagerie St. Lawrence.   The work was done at a cost of $ 2 000 000, construction was originally scheduled for 1 500 000 $ therefore with a surplus of $ 500 000 compared to the project starting in order to include private industries.     The costs were allocated as follows: * 85% of the total bill was paid by the Government of Quebec, under the programme AHSCP (1 700 000 $) * $ 300 000 by the municipality and Industries (Fromagerie Saint-Laurent and freezing plant blueberries). Of this amount, 18% has been paid by industries and 82% by the municipality System of aerated ponds Hébertville-Station The river Bédard received municipal wastewater of 1 416 people in Hébertville-Station. To stem this problem, the municipality has established a system of sewage treatment. The technique used is the same as for all stations wastewater treatment of the MRC Lac-St-Jean East. It is 3 aerated ponds. The work was done at a cost of $ 2 000 000 and distributed in the following proportions * 85% of the total bill was paid by the Government of Quebec, under the programme AHSCP (1 700 000 $) * 15% by the municipality (300 $ 000) System aerated ponds of the Ascension-our-Lord The Little River Mistouk received municipal wastewater some 2 000 inhabitants of Ascension. The municipality of Ascension has a system of sewage treatment in late 2001. The technique used is the same as for all stations wastewater treatment of the MRC Lac-St-Jean-East. It is 4 aerated ponds. The work was done at a cost of $ 1 900 000 and divided as follows: * 85% of the total bill was paid by the Government of Quebec, under the programme Eaux-Vives (1 615 000 $) * 15% by the municipality (285 $ 000) Wastewater from Labrecque Labrecque has become, since December 2001, the only municipality that still pours its untreated sewage into the River watershed Mistouk. A study characterization of the river Mistouk conducted by the ZIP Alma-Jonquiere in 1999, had mentioned that it had a good potential wildlife and tourism but that its development was slowed down by the municipal sewage discharges. Moreover, a population of Brook trout is always present in the river. The sewage treatment would greatly contribute to maintain this kind of sport for future generations. The solution is to put in place a system for handling domestic wastewater type aerated ponds, as soon as possible. To achieve the different stakeholders should be grouped together to increase their political power in order to correct the situation. So far, the municipality has included a financial assistance program for cleaning up its waters in 2000, but his request was denied due to lack of funds in the program AHSCP.
