Shovels are finally ready to hit the ground on Tofino’s long awaited wastewater treatment plant.

The district has finalized a construction agreement with NAC Construction and construction is expected to begin this month, according to Tofino mayor Dan Law.

“This is a moment that we can all celebrate. It’s been a long time coming and to actually get started and see the construction go ahead and the project move forward is a fantastic accomplishment,” Law told the Westerly News.
