Radisson's drinking water now treated using Dagua Technology

The town of Radisson, a community of 500 that is part of the James Bay Municipality, has inaugurated a new water treatment plant that employs leading edge technology by the Canadian firm Dagua.

This project became necessary in 2001 in order to ensure compliance with Québec's new Regulation Respecting the Quality of Drinking Water. It provides for the achievement of government standards in the treatment of surface water drawn from the Robert-Bourassa reservoir.

The Radisson project consisted in setting up and implementing an innovative and chemical-free drinking water treatment procedure using ozone and membrane filtration, certified by the Drinking Water Treatment Technologies Committee of the Government of Québec. Partners in the project were Radisson and the Bay James Municipality, the Canadian engineering firm SNC-Lavalin and Dagua.

Claude Gagné, Director of Radisson, emphasized the project's importance to his fellow citizens. "We are very satisfied with the outcome of this priority project, which allows us to produce drinking water that complies with the new quality standards and solve the persistent problem of water discolouration, while benefiting from a technology that requires little operating time."

"SNC-Lavalin is pleased to be associated with innovative solutions that can benefit communities like Radisson, given a global context where access to quality drinking water is a growing concern," stated Eric Pinard, Engineer and Project Manager for SNC-Lavalin.

In 2005, the Minister of Economic Development, Innovation and Export Trade announced funding in the amount of $273,911 for Dagua Inc. to make Radisson a showcase allowing stakeholders and potential customers to better understand this new technology.

"This inauguration marks the culmination of many years of investment and research to develop a water treatment system that uses no chemicals and is effective even for highly polluted water. We are extremely proud of this achievement, and we look forward to serving other communities like Radisson in the future," concluded Pierre Bélanger, President of Dagua.

Dagua is a privately-owned Canadian company that develops, manufactures and markets stand-alone, safe and environmentally friendly water treatment plants providing up to 5000 m(3) per day of drinking water for communities of up to 13,000 inhabitants.
