Monday marked another chance for City of North Battleford officials to bask in the glory of their recent national environmental award.
City Manager Jim Puffalt formally presented Mayor Ian Hamilton the Canadian Association of Municipal Administrators Award of Excellence for the Environment for communities under 20,000.
The award is in recognition of the new Lystek system at the wastewater treatment plant that converts biosolids into fertilizer, preventing the biosolids from going into the landfill.
The award had been presented to Puffalt and his team in Jasper at the CAMA national conference and this was an opportunity to share the award with the mayor and members of council.
The presentation follows an open-house held the previous Friday at the wastewater treatment plant in which the new Lystek system was displayed.
In remarks at council Monday, Councillor Ryan Bater praised the new system.
