Plans to Upgrade Bob’s Lake Sewage System Begin 
Timmins City Council has approved a contract with EXP Services Inc. for the detailed design and contract administration for Bob’s Lake sewage system upgrades. The agreement, valued at $749,250, is being funded through the City’s approved 2025 capital budget.

The project includes the design and construction management of a new sewage pumping station and forcemain (pressurized sewer pipe) to replace the existing Bob’s Lake Lagoon system. The upgrades are scheduled for completion in 2026 and will result in the full decommissioning of the lagoon facility, which currently serves approximately 54 homes.

The existing sewage system uses a pumping station to move wastewater into a stabilization pond (lagoon) for biological treatment. The planned upgrades will redirect sewage from Bob’s Lake to the Whitney/Tisdale Wastewater Treatment Plant, allowing the City to meet standards set by the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation, and Parks (MECP) and accommodate future growth and development.

EXP Services Inc. will prepare detailed design plans, cost estimates, regulatory approvals, and assistance during the construction and tender phases. Final design plans will be brought back to City Council for approval before a construction tender is issued.
