Article content Wastewater is to be managed privately while Bell also plans to build its own on-site power substation, natural gas plant and “renewable energy system,” though no further details were provided. Article content Article content The property must connect to the City of Regina’s water main for “essential” potable water to meet fire safety regulations.
