The City of Pembroke has officially opened the John Beevis Bulk Water and Septage Receiving Station, a new facility designed to enhance environmental protection and improve community services related to water access and wastewater management.
The station provides 24/7 access to potable water for maintenance and construction activities, as well as wastewater disposal for licensed contractors. Both contractors and members of the public can use the facility, which aims to make bulk water and septage management more efficient and accessible year-round.
“Not only will this facility result in better service to our community, it will result in additional revenue to the City of Pembroke due to additional sales from this more accessible facility,” said Mayor Ron Gervais at the opening ceremony.
The facility was named in memory of John Beevis, a long-time City employee who worked in both the Parks and Recreation Department and the Water Distribution & Wastewater Collection Section from 1991 until his passing in 2018. Beevis was remembered as a dedicated worker, mentor, and friend who served Pembroke residents with respect and commitment.
“The sheer mention of John Beevis brings a warm smile to everyone, followed by a story of how John positively impacted their life,” said Curtis Mick, Water Distribution & Wastewater Collection Supervisor. “I am proud to say John was my friend and I know he would be overwhelmed with pride at this dedication ceremony for this facility.”
Mayor Gervais added, “John Beevis was a very valued member of our community and employee of the City of Pembroke before his untimely passing. This is a great way to continue to leave John’s mark on our community.”
