The City of Pembroke is thrilled to celebrate the opening of the John Beevis Bulk Water and Septage Receiving Station.
This station will improve environmental protection by providing access to management and treatment of wastewater, as well as providing access to potable water for uses including maintenance activities and construction projects within our community. This facility can be accessed by contractors as well as the general public who require “bulk water” or require disposal of wastewater such as “septic pumping” through a licenced contractor. It is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
“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 celebrations today.
The station is named in memory of City of Pembroke employee, John Beevis. John was a dedicated member of the City’s team from 1991-2018, working in the Parks and Recreation Department as well as the Water Distribution & Wastewater Collection Section of the Operations Department. His tragic death in 2018 was felt deeply across the organization, as he was well known as a strong mentor for other employees and a committed worker, serving Pembroke residents with great respect and understanding.
“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.”
