This event qualifies for 1 Professional Development Hour (PDH) for the Engineers Nova Scotia CPD program.

The Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Excellence in Engineering is given annually to a team, company, government department or consortium of professional engineers, who through original achievement or creative accomplishment in the application of engineering principles, and excellence in engineering design, demonstrates a high quality of professional engineering standards. The engineering achievement should show economic benefit and highlight Nova Scotian leadership in the practice of engineering.

WSP and the Municipality of Cumberland will present on their joint project “Pugwash Central Water Supply”. This $14.9 million project involved the design and construction of a centralized water treatment plant as well as an associated reservoir, wellfield and transmission and distribution system for the Village. Residents, businesses and institutions in and around Pugwash historically relied on individual wells to supply drinking water many of which were contaminated. This project has resulted in the community having access to a clean and reliable supply of drinking water.
