Dillon Consulting Recognized with Two National Awards for Constance Lake First Nation SAGR®

The awards are rolling in for Dillon Consulting and their work with a northern Ontario First Nation’s pump station and lagoon upgrade: 

“By implementing a new wet well, a specialized recirculation design and a [SAGR] treatment system, the firm ensured consistent year-round safety and environmental compliance,” says Canadian Consulting Engineer, who awarded Dillon a 2026 Water Resources Award of Excellence on October 16. 

“This project represents a premier model for… resilient design for Indigenous communities,” says Water Canada, who presented Dillon with its 2026 Wastewater: Small Project Award on October 22. 

The project included unearthing an overflow pipe presumed lost, as well as working with Nexom® to add a SAGR® cold-water nitrification system for long-term lagoon-based compliance for the remote first nation, located more than 430 km (270 mi) due north of Sault Ste. Marie, ON.
