The trial peniod began in lune and will continue through lune, 1998. Mr. Marshall said it is imperative that thse test cover the four seaaons. The normal treatment process works much lesa efficiently in the very cold weather and officiais need to know how the Zenon process will compare. Currently the only difficulties with the Zenon test have been some mechanical growing pains, said Mr. Marshall. He added that Halton Region will buy the Zenon equipment if the test is a suc- cess, and like anybody making a signifa- cant purchase, oegional officiais want to be satisfied it is running in top form. Test resulta are sent to the MOE on a monthly basis and ministry officiais have been on the site. Diana Mourato, chief executive offacer of Zenon Environmental, said numerous communities in Ontario are holding off on work at their own sewage treatment plants white they await results of the Milton tests. "We are selling projects in the United States and overseas," she said. "There are several projecta on hold in Ontario, includ- ing the (Halton) Skyway plant." Zenon's proceas is used at more than 100 facilities around the world, mostly in North America. Milton Mayor Gord Krantz pointed out that if the test is successful there is tIse potential to add more Zenon modules to the Milton plant. In the end the only limiting factor is loading of effluent on the creek where the treated water is discharged. In some places in California and Arizona, treated water ia pumped hack into the ground, where the aquifer acts as the final clesning procesa before it is recy- cled through wells, said Ms Mourato.
