The modernization work is necessary to guarantee the plant’s proper operation, improve its efficiency, treat the wastewater of 6 additional communes, while anticipating demographic change and tomorrow’s environmental standards.
Residents should not be significantly affected, as the station will continue to operate during the work. We are taking steps to minimize and control the disruption caused by such a project.
Work will start in July 2024, and the process will be phased over a total of 6 years.
We are putting in place measures to maintain water quality at a high level during the works, and will be closely monitoring the process. What’s more, the new treatments put in place will ultimately eliminate 90% of microplastics before the treated wastewater is discharged.
Waste will be managed in accordance with current environmental regulations, and care will be taken to minimize its impact on the environment. In this respect, the target recovery rate for deconstruction is 93%, and 85% of unpolluted excavated material will be reused on site.
We’ll be updating our website regularly, and you can also sign up for our newsletter to receive e-mail notifications. In addition, residents of the station will receive a regular newsletter about the work directly in their mailbox.
Rates will be adjusted in line with local regulations, and we will endeavor to maintain fair rates for our users. The sanitation charge has already been raised on 13, representing an impact of +44€/year on the average INSEE bill for a volume of 120m3. Of course, only homes connected to the public sewerage system will contribute to the financing of the project.
No, you can continue to pay your water bill in the same way as before.
Yes, we plan to create 200 temporary local jobs during the construction phase and 60 jobs during the operating phase. In addition, Haliotis 2 will contribute to the economic and social development of the region by entrusting 65% of sales to the local economy, with at least 15 local companies mobilized throughout the construction phase, and by offering 123,000 hours of professional integration and 30,000 hours of training and work-study programs.

Modernization will improve the quality of water discharged into the environment, reduce environmental impact, and guarantee the sustainability of the wastewater service for the future, while anticipating future needs and regulations.
We have emergency and risk management plans in place to deal with any unexpected situation and ensure continuity of service during the works.
We will use advanced technologies to improve the efficiency of our water treatment process.
We will set up suitable working hours to minimize noise disturbance, in addition, an acoustic fence absorbing some of the noise generated will be installed around the site during the construction period. Noise sensors will also be installed at the edge of Haliotis 2 to ensure that noise pollution is kept under control.
You can help by using water responsibly and avoiding disposing of non-biodegradable products down the drain. Your cooperation is invaluable.
We have strict procedures to prevent leaks or accidental spills and protect the local environment. Site machinery will also be regularly cleaned according to a protocol defined in advance.
We comply with all environmental regulations and work closely with local authorities to minimize environmental impact.
Yes, we plan to organize educational tours for the public to better understand the modernization process and its importance.
The district’s heavy traffic, located at the entrance to the city, was taken into account in the design process, and provision was made for truck access to Haliotis 2. Traffic on the Promenade des Anglais was of course taken into account, as was the cycle path, which today passes in front of the station entrance and whose continuity and safety are already assured.
